Yes, it would be an easy fix, and wouldn't hurt anywhere else AFAICT.
Would the change help in 16.04 (i.e. are we in a hurry)?

** Package changed: language-selector (Ubuntu) => accountsservice

Title:
  gnome-control-center.real crashed with SIGSEGV in g_utf8_validate()

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I wanted to install Japanese through the gnome-control-center, so I
  opened it, went to the "Region & Language" section, clicked
  "Language", searched for "Japanese", when I found it I clicked on it
  (a tick appeared next to it), and finally I clicked "Done". Now what
  then should have happened is it should have asked me if I wanted to
  install the language packs it would then present to me and I would be
  able to continue with the installation... What instead happened was it
  hanged for a while and then finally outputted in Terminal:

      (gnome-control-center.real:1726): common-cc-panel-WARNING **: Language ja_JP.UTF-8 not installed, trying to intall it
      Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  The full output in Terminal was:

  I have tested this bug and it is present in Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with
  GNOME 3.18 and 16.04 with GNOME 3.19 VMs, however I cannot reproduce
  it on the host (15.10 with GNOME 3.18).
