The package didn't change but the reports are new, perhaps a new side effect of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2937 exposing an existing bug?

Checking the journal log from some of the errors most have those warnings

gnome-control-c[3094]: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
gnome-control-c[3094]: Couldn't set FormatsLocale: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.Failed: '[Invalid UTF-8]' is not a valid locale name
systemd[1]: accounts-daemon.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=11/SEGV

so maybe not glib but settings?

The latter comment reminds me of bug #2011313, where the underlying issue was a failure (for some reason) to fetch user data. One side effect in that case was that it resulted in a language variable having a NULL value, and then it failed when trying to convert it to a valid locale name.

Anyway, the wording "is not a valid locale name" comes probably from the user_locale_validate() function in accountsservice (0010-set-language.patch).

And "Couldn't set FormatsLocale" comes from the set_formats_locale() function in g-c-c (Adapts-the-region-capplet-and-the-language-chooser-in-the.patch).

I think I found it:

Uploaded g-c-c, but keeping the accountsservice task open for now until we see that the problem is no longer present.

Now I have tested too. :/ Switching language does not result in an attempt to reset region, and seems to work as expected. I can no longer reproduce any errors or warnings when starting g-c-c from terminal.
