w.d.o isn't the only content negotiation using site out there, and I
don't see why we shouldn't try to educate the users in that way - in
fact tell them that they are lying to their browser about their
preference, so why we should let them live with a lie?
Besides, what would you really store there? You most propably can
store only a _single_ language after clicking such a link, and end up
with well undefined behavior if one of the following pages isn't
translated into that language and get complaints about that again.
So rather tell them how to fix it properly, once and for all, instead
of having them stumble into the same problem later on again.

And what would be the reasoning behind such a wish? How common would
you see such a wish?

I don't see much usability enhancement by that suggestion, to be
honest.
So long,
