Problem/Motivation

That method attempts to keep all config translation as well as the active configuration in sync with interface translation.

The problem is when you have EN enabled but not as the default language. That logic treats it as any other language, but it's different in a number of ways, for example that even though you can enable local EN translation, localize.drupal.org will never provide any translations for it.

Also, locale/interface translation is always EN => EN, and it implicitly assumes that is the case case for config as well, so it thinks that if there is no EN-specific translation for e.g. "Page", then it can clean up the config override as well and it will fall back to the hardcoded version. But there is no hardcoded version and your active config is e.g. DE and you need to have that EN version of it.

Proposed resolution

Completely skip locale => config sync for EN. That will change the behavior of EN overrides compared to other languages a bit. There you can e.g. translate prev/next labels to your language in one view, and then that will sync that into interface translation and then you can force it to sync that back into all your other views. That's fairly unpredictable though as it only happens in specific scenarios (enabling a module, importing translations or doing a full translation sync from localize.drupal.org)
