Just returning from vacation, so a late addition to this thread.

When the http spec is properly implemented (as in apache), requesting
'en-us' will not serve an 'en' page. On the other hand, requesting
'en' will serve 'en-us' if it exists (and there is no 'en' variant).
This is clearly spelled out in the http spec and there is even a warning
to browser authors to make it clear that country codes should only be
used when really needed.
So, as you have already noticed, the proper way to specify your
preference is to use 'en-au, en-gb, en'.
