Yes, that seems true; see below.

I hope it will override one day... If not, how would I change the default
language in B?

I have to provide something in B. If I comment out <languages>...</languages> or
leave it empty in publication.xml of publication B, I get a build error.

Yes, the bug remains. No difference.

If instead I take spanish only in B; like this:
<languages>
  <language default="true">es</language>
</languages>
I get the language selector greyed out with the entries
deutsch | français | italiano (obviously from A) and a spanish error message
telling me that the document is not available in spanish (which is true).
The language list seems to be taken from A, no matter which languages I
configure in B.

Yes, the URL is the same. They are all relative (without domain).

I do not mean the language flags, I mean all images in the whole publication,
which are linked from within an editable document.

Thanks again, Florent. Unfortunately I have to put this aside for now and
urgently work on something else. I will get back to this in December, maybe...

Best regards
Markus
