I figured this out in the end. The problem is that the startup() entry
point for bootstrapped extensions gets called by the addon manager
before the chrome manifests for other extensions (including language
packs) have been loaded. Because this extension does something with
starts nsIHttpHandler when it loads, nsIHttpHandler initializes the
Accept-Language value before the chrome for the en-GB language pack has
been loaded (so it ends up with the fallback value for en-US, with that
being the only provider registered at that point)

Title:
  Accept-Language header contains incorrect value

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Both my OS and Firefox preferences has en-GB and en as the language,
  however, it's sending "en-US, en" in the "accept-language" request
  header. This was verified using Bugzilla after finding the problem.
  Dates on some sites are a particular problem given that for many dates
  there is no way to tell the difference between en-GB and en-US, you
  just read the date wrong.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Start Firefox
  2) In Edit -> Preferences - check the lanugage settings are "en-gb" and "en".
  3) Start Firebug.
  4) Access www.google.co.uk
  5) Check the "Net" tab in firebug.
  6) Expand the first (or any line).
  7) Scroll to the "Request Headers".
  8) Observe "Accept-language" contains "en-us,en;q=0.5".
