Thanks @Nico207 for reporting this.

Note, the new user will have a default language of the APP_LANG option, If they were to log-in after creation.

It's just the dropdown in the user view won't reflect this since the default is not correctly loaded at that stage.

Should be a simple fix so will add a patch for the next release.
