Comment(by dd32):

 First up, We [http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev don't have]
 any "official" translations of WordPress in GB/AU English anyway.

 > I think a match for anything that's en_[RECOGNISED_REGIONAL_SUBTAG]) is
 enough to accommodate for being English.)

 Which is not what the block is trying to do, The Block of code in question
 is warning you, that you're not running the 'en_US' localisation, the
 "official" language of WordPress. Simply accepting en_* as "English" and
 not displaying that warning would be lying, If you're running a different
 language setting, then you (should be) using a different language pack,
 and upgrading will override the current language pack (Even if you're
 currently in "English")

 Perhaps the crux of the problem here is 2 fold
  * WordPress's string is Americanised, Its assumed that "English" ===
 "American English", which as all us Aussies know, that ain't the case ;)
  * You're using a different LANG var without actually using its purpose,
 which is, to load a different language pack
