The French localization may not have been tested very rigorously. Alternately, it may be a know bug, but the fix would require more work than the publisher was willing to support, or a fix could involved making so many changes that there would be a serious risk of causing additional problems.
There's few bugs in this version and localizations works quite well and this bug is a bit big, so it's quite possible that it's one of the last fix that broke this.
Or they forget to make the women version for traits and was worry about some vindicative WLM so didn't use the male Traits for female characters. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
