Right, understood. The installer tried to set reasonable locales based
on the selections you made.

It works as expected. But there is an inconsistency under the hood:
While the UIs you encounter after the installation only show language
options which represent translations, the installer does not care about
that. So in your case the installer set en_NZ.UTF-8 everywhere. But
since there are no en_NZ translations, that locale is ignored with
respect to the display language.

In case of Xubuntu, with lightdm-gtk-greeter, you instantly are enforced
to select one of the available translations, and the locale is altered
accordingly.

So please focus on the actual behavior of your desktop. Are you
encountering a real problem? I don't think you are.

What I think you should do is asking yourself which of the available
translations are closest to the English you speak in NZ, and select that
language. Based on your geographical location I would suspect it's
en_AU, but really don't know.

No need to. If you can convince me that there is a problem which needs
to be fixed, I'll be happy to open this bug report again. But I don't
think you can. ;)
