Hm, that's not very new, and it's certainly a version we've tested.
In fact I'd have guessed the above-mentioned patches were tested
against that.

Anyway, my first thought about this is that the mapping installed by
db29620d4 looks like it will recognize 'Norwegian (Bokmål)' but not
'Norwegian Bokmål'. Could you be more precise about exactly what
you're seeing in the config file?
