Sounds good. I will see if I can merge this for the next release.

Can anyone else reproduce this? I am not able to. I've been using
various versions of the en_US bundles for about a month now just fine,
including the "official" ones I linked to in the parent post.

Are you sure you're not overwriting an old copy with pref damage or
something?

Ok, also when you're satisfied, can you tag a release and sign that tag?

Ok.
