 Ahhh ok that makes sense then.

 This is probably tangent, but it might be helpful here if all the
 occurences of `is_admin() ? get_user_locale() : get_locale()` were
 replaced with a method something like

 {{{

 function determine_locale() {
   return apply_filters('determine_locale', is_admin() ? get_user_locale()
 : get_locale());
 }
 }}}
 Then we'd have at least one filter we could use to change this behaviour,
 rather than dozens. Plus, repeating `is_admin() ? get_user_locale() :
 get_locale()` all over is essentially hard-coding that admin requests will
 always be in the user's locale, and all other requests will be in the
 site's locale (which we'd like to modify on this ticket)
