Steps how to reproduce:
1. download, unzipip and test from nightly update channel Build like
   German SeaMonkey 2.41a1

5. Confirm to download, update will be done automtically with next quit → 
   restart of SeaMonkey

a) other OS not yet tested

   downloaded coincidentally.

c) We had something similar in very old "Bug 419258 - AUS updates a localized 
   Linux SeaMonkey version to en-US", I don't know whether this problem is a 
   similar one or has completely different roots

As originally stated, this is no longer applicable in the stated form (2.41 is no longer supported). There is an issue with 2.53.7 en-US -> zh-TW, but that's been mentioned somewhere in the release notes. As such, I'm closing this.
