Paranoiac or not, at least you make it hard for yourself. ;-)

Should? Did you try the selecting way?

It should be the user language, if set, otherwise the system one. And
that's what it probably would have been if you had applied the default
feature to *select* the user you want to log in as. At least that's how
it works for me and other *ubuntu + lightdm-gtk-greeter users.

Currently it's accountsservice that provides the language. However, for
accountsservice to be able to do so, you must pass a username to it, and
that's what you do when *selecting* a user on the login screen.

You know what? Considering that you prefer to hide the user list from
the login screen, it might work better for you if you disable the
language selector feature in lightdm-gtk-greeter. You do so by setting

show-language-selector=false

in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf
