Thanks, Tim.  I can see MY problem now and it is probably not a bug (in FC1, that is; FC2T1 is at home).  My System Settings -> Language is set to English, so my locale shows "en_US.UTF-8" for everything, including LC_PAPER.  If I change the Language to Estonian, everything changes to "et_EE.UTF-8" and the printer setup gives me A4.  This would probably be okay for Aunt Sigrid.

Still, it would be useful if I could set my locale to Estonian and still use English.

Studying further...
