During the initial "intro" (aka the trip on the train) the game stucks:
the train stops on to a pit and stays there forever.
This problem occurs only if HL1 language is set to Italian (No issues with English).

Steps to reproduce:

Set the game in italian and launch
Start a new game
The train will stop during the inital "intro" after 1 minute and 26 seconds.

I cannot reproduce this after the update today (I didn't try before). This sounds like the locale issue that was fixed, please reopen if you can still reproduce it.

I am still experiencing this issue. The train stops in a pit and the game just stops. I can still look around, run around, and jump around inside the train car, but that's about it. Happens every time i launch the game. I originally was able to play the game (almost finished) but my game save had disappeared after doing an update, since then i have been unable to play.

I am playing the game on English language.

After the update (see Alfred's comment) the problem was solved.

My advice: be sure that you are using the latest steam deb package (my bootstraplinux_ubuntu12_32.tar.xz was outdated and i'm not running Steam on ubuntu too)
