In SDK, only en_GB translations are distributed so en_US won't work in
any case.

I have an osso-email-l10n-4.0-engb package installed in my SDK (though
not the program itself), but that might be out of sync and still leave
messages untranslated.

Did you build it as a .deb or just make install it? Maybe it doesn't
include any translations in the deb (since they are distributed
separately anyway)...
