According to the guy who developed reformime (who i talked to today), 
reformime inherits $LANG from it's parent process, it might be as simple 
as putting in a special case where $LANG is set before calling 
reformime... but I didn't have confidence in my ability to hack up Q-S.

Now there's at least a record of a workaround out there.  When i started 
looking 3 weeks ago, there was only 1 reported case of this bug - in 
japanese, with no solution posted.
