Got around it by using the actual locale:
<%@ page import="org.apache.struts.action.Action" %>
<bean:define id="locale" name="<%=Action.LOCALE_KEY%>"
type="java.util.Locale"/>
<a href="<%="refstart" + locale.toString() + "/refend.html"%>">Click here
</a>
I still haven't answered my original question, but it's now moot.
