No.

Sounds like a Xorg bug to me.  Of course asking for english locale
is wrong too, there isn't a clear answer what should that be, there are
many countries where english is natively spoken, but certainly it shouldn't
give an inexistent locale.
/usr/share/locale/locale.alias doesn't mention english nor en_EN anywhere,
but X11 locale.alias does:

grep -i english /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias /etc/gdm/locale.alias /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias:English_United-States.437                    C
/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias:english_uk.8859                              en_GB.ISO8859-1
/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias:english_us.8859                              en_US.ISO8859-1
/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias:english_us.ascii                             en_US.ISO8859-1
/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias:english.iso88591                             en_EN.ISO8859-1
