Is it getting persisted anywhere under

No. There's a folder for my user but it is empty.

Does either

        gsettings list-recursively | egrep -i locale

or

        dconf dump / | egrep -i locale

turn up anything that looks promising for setting the locale?

After further searching, I found
`/var/cache/lightdm/dmrc/{myuser}.dmrc`. This contained the persisted
LANG configuration value. Removing this file and rebooting (restarting
lightdm) caused my local user's LANG to revert to the system default.

In addition, there ought to be a GUI/simple way for users to set
this.

Agreed.

It should be possible to add a language selection option to the
greeter.

but not yet entering the password, there appears language selector
in the upper right screen edge (or is even visible the whole time).
