I think I finally fixed this correctly.

'ar' was the old name for 'arabic' - but it was deprecated in 2004,
now it's 'ara'.  There was a compatibility mapping; not sure when or
why it worked or didn't work, but I changed qemu to use 'ara' - and
then found that they did the same fix upstream this week.
