Just a guess, after watching @ one rh el 6.1 system I have.
I notice that under /etc/profile.d directory there is a "lang.sh"
script that checks for a file named ".i18n" under the home directory
of the user that logs in.

The files under this directory are executed by /etc/profile at login time.

Is there any .i18n file inside the home directory of this user?
In that case it seems it is parsed and $LANG set accordingly....

HIH,
Gianluca
