Ok, thanks.

What you say about the locale indicates that your home directory is
encryptfs protected, and that you have a ~/.pam_environment file that
overrides /etc/default/locale. In that case it's just as it should be.
In other words: it was wrong before on encrypted HOMEs and right now.

Since I can't reproduce the $PATH problem, I'm not sure how to proceed
with this bug report. With lightdm 1.2.3-0ubuntu2, both /etc/environment
and ~/.pam_environment are read later during the login process than
before. It seems illogical that $PATH would not preserve its value for
that reason. Do you possibly have some special configuration on your
machine that might shed some light on the mystery?

With the modified /etc/pam.d/lightdm you have a working fix, at least.
I'm inclined to think that we should just keep this bug report open for
now, and see if other similar bugs are reported. I'll consult with
someone about it.
