 logged in at that point, I don't know that it should.

 In this case if the user is logged out we can't determine that they
 changed their locale so would make sense to use the locale supplied in the
 emailed URL.

 should override the wp_lang value in the confirmation url. Maybe it is so?

 But as mentioned in the case the user is logged in when they land on the
 confirmaction page then a check can be made against their current locale
 which I feel makes sense to override the language set on the URL.
