I may be missing something here, but GNOME doesn't provide en_US 
translations at all. With a lack of explicit en_US definitions, it falls 
back on C. The output of locale(1) doesn't look incorrect (my output 
contains quotes as well, and my locale settings work fine for me):
monkey@smacky:~% locale
LANG=en_CA.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE="en_CA.ISO8859-1"
LC_COLLATE="en_CA.ISO8859-1"
LC_TIME="en_CA.ISO8859-1"
LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.ISO8859-1"
LC_MONETARY="en_CA.ISO8859-1"
LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.ISO8859-1"
LC_ALL=
