Credit goes to Chris Page who explained it to me.

FYI:

Back in olde-worlde 10.5.8, those same International System Preferences
popup options exist, but the "Standard" setting for someone using English
language in the US behaves instead the same way as ³English (United States,
Computer)² and as John had expected. Evidently a bug in 10.5 that was later
fixed.
