There is possibly some confusion about what the issue is in your 
installation. Somehow you were invited to file a bug report for the 
translation team. Reading back the thread I don't think there is any 
bug, but I fear a misconfiguration.

It is true that English is the 'default' language, but if the 
configuration you showed is all that you have there is no way for TYPO3 
to know that you want German to be the default language:

config {
     sys_language_overlay = hideNonTranslated
     sys_language_mode = content_fallback
     linkVars = L
}
[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
config {
     sys_language_uid = 1
     language = en
     locale_all = en_GB
     htmlTag_langKey = en
}
[global]

What about letting TYPO3 know what you really want:

config {
     sys_language_overlay = hideNonTranslated
     sys_language_mode = content_fallback
     linkVars = L
     sys_language_uid=0
     language = de
     locale_all = de_DE
     htmlTag_langKey = de
}
[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
config {
     sys_language_uid = 1
     language = en
     locale_all = en_GB
     htmlTag_langKey = en
}
[global]

With a lot of sites with a different default language than English I 
have seen no problems at all. Core and extensions use the correct 
labels, etc. but you have to configure the language settings correctly.
