Details

The following revision http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n-mozilla-1.9.1/te/diff/8cd9bb59e628/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties changed the names of all web services listed in region.properties.

I don't think this is necessary or even desired. For example, Google still uses "Google" on their Telugu pages: http://www.google.com/intl/te/. In general, we shouldn't translate any proper names or trademarks.

Also, in case of browser.search.defaultenginename and browser.search.order.X prefs, changing the values without changing the search plugins will break the desired behavior.

Please submit a patch for review to revert this changeset. Thanks!
Stas,
If you  check the yahoo telugu website 
http://in.telugu.yahoo.com/
you can see that Yahoo uses telugu word apart from its logo in English.
Google is  not doing the same, as it does not have a distinct trademark except for color and a particular font.
Here the  intent of Firefox is to provide  the search engine names in the local language, so that  users who  get as much as the feel of local language interface. 
May be  Firefox need to   improve  the way it handles search plug in names and the actual URLs.
Any way, for now I will  update as suggested by you.
