The proper fix would be to have something more fine-grained than
language-environment inside of Emacs.
Until such a time, your fix appeared like the right thing to do at
that junction to me. Your patch (I am going my memory here) has the
disadvantage that it might look up the empty string as a language
explicitly, expecting it to turn up nil. That's sort of ugly.
