So this has just recurred. I'll note that I've since switched to Gnome 3.22.

I assume you mean user-1000.slice, since there's not much under
user at 1000.service, as you can see:

└─user.slice
  ├─user-1000.slice
  │ ├─user at 1000.service
  │ │ ├─init.scope
  │ │ │ ├─3594 /lib/systemd/systemd --user
  │ │ │ └─3595 (sd-pam)
  │ │ └─ssh-agent.service
  │ │   └─3601 /usr/bin/ssh-agent -a /run/user/1000/ssh-agent.socket
  │ └─session-2.scope
  │   ├─ 3589 gdm-session-worker [pam/gdm-password]
  │   ├─... (snip)
  │   └─18186 pager

All of these have the correct LANG and LANGUAGE:

  │   ├─ 3645 dbus-daemon --print-address 4 --session
  │   ├─ 3727 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3
  │   ├─ 3824 /usr/lib/gnome-online-accounts/goa-identity-service
  │   ├─ 3808 /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5

(Not sure I know what the "main process" is.)

Interestingly,

  │   ├─ 3761 /usr/bin/gnome-shell

has $LANG, but $LANGUAGE is missing:
