Bug Description
Binary package hint: xubuntu-desktop
xubuntu live-current 2-23 as install media; updated as of 2-27.
When logging in to my xfce desktop, receive the error "Language en_US does not exist; using System Default" at which point login proceeds normally. Creating a new user & attempting to login has the same issue. Pointed at xubuntu-desktop since I didn't know if it was xubuntu specific.
Installation & Configuration workflow:
1). Installed xubuntu via live cd. Skipped language downloads during installation.
2). Rebooted, logged in as created user. Everything seems fine
3). Decided to verify that all language stuff installed correctly via System ~> Language Support.
4). Received a dialog in language support application which warned me about incomplete language installation. Allowed said application to complete downloads & installation.
5). On next login, received an error message "Language en_US does not exist; using System Default"
6). Changing the default language for the login screen to System Default still causes the error.

Recently attempted (2) installations with xubuntu live-current 3-2. On the first installation:
1). Burned CD & rebooted. Verified CD integrity via livecd boot menu.
2). Started an installation via "Install xUbuntu" on livecd boot menu.
3). Near the end of the installation, the installer started downloading language packs. I did not skip this.
4). After the language packs had been downloaded, the installer threw an error about a broken package, I believe it was "language-
Attached are the dpkg.log and user.log from the xUbuntu installer mode.
On the second install:
1). Booted into normal live-cd, started installation from there.
2). When it started downloading language pack stuff, I just skipped it.
3). No errors about broken packages or language support.
4). Rebooted into the installed system. Everything works at login, no error about installed languages.
Note that in both of the above installations, I have not attempted to execute the System ~> Language Support utility, since I don't want to have to deal with the initially reported errors every time I login. I will test both installation procedures when virtualbox is fixed; I will run the Language Support program after installation to see if it occours in both installation cases (installation langauge packs or just skipping them, then running Language Support after install is completed).
