I have already tested this bug, and I can not find it. So I think it is not the bug of s-c-language, and it is the problem of Yum in your machine.
Disable the network, and you'll be able to reproduce. It's not a yum bug, you're not catching the exceptions from yum, and I was running from an unmodified F8 test2 Live USB key.
I think this bug is important. I fixed it in system-config-language-1.2.15-1.fc9.
Tested this bug. Its now fixed in the proposed version. Version of the Component Tested :- system-config-language-1.2.15-1.fc9
