Steam client sometime hangs on attempt to change language

For some reason, I sometime can't change the language in my Steam client - it hangs when I click on the language list.
It does not happen everytime, just sometimes.

The GetTextureForString asserts will be fixed in the next client release, and the client will do a better job of finding fonts with international characters in them. Whether this will fully fix your problem or not is unclear but we'll see after the client release.

Steam updated to "build Jan 23 2013"

Yes, it's fixed. I tried it several times, no more issues.
