I didn't rebuild anything - and won't be interfering with a brand-new
installation of TexLive. I'm in the middle of a couple of huge jobs and can't
risk messing things up. (Actually I don't think I've had to build a format
file since the days of loading EmTeX onto a computer with about a dozen floppy
disks - some time in the early 1990s!)
But in any case the simplified version doesn't do the trick either - I get
'missing number, treated as zero'.
It's not really worth going into at present (from my point of view, though
others may have a more pressing need). I'll investigate when I get some free
time. Many thanks for the suggestions, though.

First of all, did you rebuild your format file? In order to avoid the problem
with the \typeout commands, use the following
simplified version:
\def\setlanguage#1{\language=\csname l...@#1\endcsname}
