Thank you for the extra details; however I am unable to duplicate the
issue without logging out and logging back in.

I think you're missing my point. Why should someone need to use the
command line to switch to a different language or regional format?

One of the gnome-terminal maintainers proposed a patch a year ago at

appears to fix your specific issue.

Thank you,
