This bug was fixed in the package accountsservice - 0.6.15-2ubuntu3
---------------
accountsservice (0.6.15-2ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low
[ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
* debian/patches/0001-formats-locale-property.patch and
debian/libaccountsservice0.symbols:
- Addition of FormatsLocale property and SetFormatsLocale method.
* debian/patches/0009-language-tools.patch:
- Make SetLanguage() and SetFormatsLocale() write to
~/.pam_environment instead of ~/.profile (LP: #866062).
- Make the LANG variable, which up to now has represented regional
formats, denote the display language instead (LP: #877610).
* debian/patches/0010-set-language.patch:
- If the Language or FormatsLocale property is not yet set when
queried, respond with a sensible, dynamically generated fallback
value.
- Code added for migrating ~/.profile environment settings to
~/.pam_environment.
- Don't alter any settings if SetLanguage is called from a language
chooser on the greeter and /home is encrypted or not yet mounted.
- Misc. code refactoring.
* debian/accountsservice.postinst:
- Modify /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment due to a changed
meaning of the LANG environment variable.
[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/accountsservice.postinst: Only run the LANG migration when
upgrading to this version. Also, slightly improve the call to grep.
* debian/libaccountsservice0.symbols: Fix versions of symbols from
0001-formats-locale-property.patch.
* debian/libaccountsservice0.symbols: Add new symbols from 0.6.15-2ubuntu1.
* debian/accountsservice.postinst: In the LANG migration, do not add all the
variables to a file which doesn't define LANG, so that we don't repeat
them in /etc/environment when they are already in /etc/default/locale.

Bug description:
Just discussed in #u-devel: We currently write the user's locale into
~/.profile, which is icky as it's a shell script. For 12.04 onward we
ought to use ~/.pam_environment and have it set by PAM.
