Yes changing to United States in Settings > Region & Language the GNOME panel clock still stays in 24h mode.

Oh it's just a confusingly redundant setting. You can find it in:

Simple fix.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-format '12h'
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser clock-format '12h'
gsettings set org.gtk.gtk4.Settings.FileChooser clock-format '12h'

Curtin (no "a") doesn't manage time settings, so the fix definitely isn't going there.

Comment #4 though makes this sound like it needs to be in the image, and isn't installer specific? Or can you clarify what you'd like the installer to do here?

A post-install or live preinstall hook fixes this. Both linked packages contain these listed in their documentation.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/issues/30
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2575
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/merge_requests/55
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2422

If it can be handled by simple gsettings or locale defaults, it should be done until a better fix comes along.

Curtin is not the appropriate place to land fixes or even quirk workarounds for this problem. I would appreciate if you avoided adding uninvolved components to the bug, especially when it has already been pointed out that this is the wrong spot.

The linked threads you mention do not appear to me to have an "all but refused" stance. Last I see they are sitting in a "volunteers welcome" state, or dependencies on things that need further work.

This sort of change is really best done in a package in the archive, and I'm not hearing appropriate justification for installer quirks. Declining for Subiquity, thanks.

It missed the 45.0 tag and gnome-45 branch so currently only exists in future release 46. Hopefully it will get cherry picked into 45.
