I'm not sure about your usecase.
While I agree that the value of the option is not nice to be just a character, I have to ask what the intention is.
If a fields is an excluded one, no value at all should be stored into DB (not sure if that is the case currently though) or at least on evaluation in FE always the value of the parent record will be taken, the actual value in the translation does not matter.

For example you could have a list of books and for each book you have to select an author. The author is selected by a selectbox which is filled by another table. The author field is not localizable and can only be selected in the default language of the book. If this field is configured with defaultAsReadonly for l10n_display the author should be displayed in a localized dataset of a book. The authors table has the items "John Doe" with uid 123 and "Jane Doe" with uid 1. If you select the author "John Doe" with uid 123 only uid 1 is used to select the author in a localized book. So in the localized version of the book "Jane Doe" is displayed.

I have quite the same problem with a select field with a defined set of items (no foreign_table). In my case, the first item is shown as selected value in the localized version (instead of the value of the original). Appears in TYPO3 7.6 and 8.6.1.

'duplicationCheck' => [
    'exclude' => true,
    'label' => 'Duplication test',
    'l10n_mode' => 'exclude',
    'l10n_display' => 'defaultAsReadonly',
    'config' => [
        'type' => 'select',
        'renderType' => 'selectSingle',
        'items' => [
            [
                'Test by IP',
                'ip'
            ],
            [
                'Test by cookie',
                'cookie'
            ],
            [
                'Foo test',
                'foo'
            ],
            [
                'None',
                ''
            ]
        ],
        'default' => 'cookie'
    ]
]

Additionally I recognised, that in TYPO3 7.6 the field value gets copied to the translated record with the configured default value, while in TYPO3 8.6.1 the selected value is used. Don't know whether this is intended or not (or even related to this task), just for you to know :-)

..are there any news about this?

Just encountered this with TYPO3 8.7.24 - the option in the localized record is not selected correctly; it just uses/shows the default/first option.
