So I have been investigating this issue further and noticed, that the 
results that were being shown in the wrong language were exclusively
tt_news entries. It all isn't very surprising given that the crawler
configuration for our tt_news section is:

tx_crawler.crawlerCfg.paramSets.www-tt_news = 
&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=[_TABLE:tt_news;_PID:512]

So no language information is relayed and all tt_news entries (no
matter what language) will be stored with language_id = 0.

So I thought I was being smart by simple changing the configuration to:

tx_crawler.crawlerCfg.paramSets.www-tt_news = 
&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=[_TABLE:tt_news;_PID:512]&L=[_TABLE:tt_news;_FIELD:sys_language_uid;_PID:512]

But that's just as bad. Now every article get stored with every
language_id.
