It seems like the obvious solution here is to have another language that semantically means "force English" which is only ever sent by the browser if the user explicitly selected English in OS or browser settings. That way, the ambiguity between "en-us" meaning "default" or meaning "us English" would go away. Maybe even setting Accept-Language to "en-us,en-us" could mean that?

Why not just add a feature on the browser to have a huge popup (I'm kidding, it should be more subtle) at the next upgrade to ask the user "What languages do you prefer for content?". Currently, I'm guessing the browser copies the language of the OS at first run, and the option to change it is behind the sign that says "Beware of the leopard"
