You're probably right.

AFAICT that only happens for the 'locales' package; and indeed, apt
sources seem to agree with your memory:
,---[ apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc ]---
|    // map the dpkg states to the operations that are performed
|    // (this is sorted in the same way as Item::Ops)
|    static const struct DpkgState DpkgStatesOpMap[][7] = {
| …
|       // Configure operation
|       {
|          {"unpacked",N_("Preparing to configure %s") },
|          {"half-configured", N_("Configuring %s") },
|          { "installed", N_("Installed %s")},
|          {NULL, NULL}
|       },
`---

(even if I didn't play the “patch apt and use a hacked archive” trick
to confirm that's indeed where the message is coming from.)

Not sure it's possible to fix, but quite certain it's not worth the
effort.
