Bug Description
This bug report corresponds to #1556386, but is created in a clean live system, which must not be 'private', and which is not affected by several other installed packages and tweaks.
The live system is using Swedish. I try to get the output in English, so I used LANG=C.

This is strange:
This bug affects systems originally booted in English, where Swedish was installed/set via the Lubuntu menu 'Preferences - Language Support'. This is the (only) way to do it when booting from grub, and a possible way to do it when booting from syslinux.
I put Swedish at the top of the list (of installed languages), applied system-wide, logged out and logged in again as the user lubuntu.
-o-
But when I set the Swedish language via the first menu of syslinux boot, it works to get English output via
LANG=C; ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported and the button 'Install/Remove Languages...'
Maybe it is not a bug of 'update-manager' but a bug of the Lubuntu package for language support.
