`configure` dies on buggy scripts when UserInterfaceInternationalisation enabled

As discussed here, the configure script will die when:

a buggy plugin is installed and enabled (in this case, ChartPlugin v1.6.0's bug described here),
UserInterfaceInternationalisation is enabled (Internationalisation section in configure),
and a new plugin is (un|re)installed. The error occurs after entering the password to verify the change:

Software error:
Can't call method "getLocal" on an undefined value at /tmp/Foswiki-1.1.6/lib/Foswiki/Prefs.pm line 441.

-- MyqLarson - 11 Dec 2012

Marking this fixed in 1.2. The extensions installer disables all plugins during updates. That should avoid this type of issue.
