[TYPO3-core] RFC: #4911: No function for adding alternative external URL for other languages

This is weird. I tested again and I observe the proper behavior. My 
setting is similar to yours:

config.sys_language_overlay = 1
config.sys_language_mode = content_fallback
config.linkVars = L

# Default Language
config.sys_language_uid = 0
config.language = fr
config.locale_all = fr_FR
config.htmlTag_langKey = fr

# English
[globalVar = GP:L = 1]
config.sys_language_uid = 1
config.language = en
config.locale_all = en_EN
config.htmlTag_langKey = en
[GLOBAL]

# German
[globalVar = GP:L = 2]
config.sys_language_uid = 2
config.language = de
config.locale_all = de_DE
config.htmlTag_langKey = de
[GLOBAL]

I even tried deactivating RealURL in case it changed anything, but no. 
Everything works as expected.

Puzzling...
