hmm i can not confirm any kind of issues:
Can you please confirm this issue on a clean install without any 3rd Party Extensions?
Yeap, I confirm this issue on a clean install without any 3rd party extension. Well, to be true there is one: Czech language v3.6.5.1 dated 2016-12-14 by the Joomla! Czech Translation Team admin@joomla.cz id#10000.

Can you show us a screenshot of the backend with the default star? Can you double check the dropdown left to the seach box Is this "Administrator" or Site?
I'm uploading three screenshots:
- after changing the administrator language
- (after logging off and logging in) the settings for the admin account
- the settings for the administrator language again

hmm this sounds strange. Can you please enable the language debug and told me if you have any errors reported there?
Debugging has been allowed. All the commands are surrounded by double-asterisks. The debug report is attached.

That is unexpected: The login window is in Czech, but after login in, the administrator site is in English.

the e-mail address tobias.zul at community.joomla.org is not responding
tobias.zulaufcommunity.joomla.org you missed some thing from my seccound name.
May I install Akeeba Backup and send you the jpa backup file?
please don't do that. Just a zip with the files and the DB dump.
Can't confirm, test on Multilingual Site (4 Lang.). Changed to french in Back- and Frontend, made Steps to reproduce issue – all works fine.
Test on:
Joomla! 3.7.0-latest staging
macOS Sierra, 10.12.3
Firefox 50.1.0
PHP 7.0.4
MySQLi 5.5.53-0
After disabling and re-enabling all the extension in my Firefox profile, the suspicious behavior vanished. No user change has been made to any of the extensions or their setting.
Shall we therefore consider this as solved? If yes, please close this issue.
The KeeFox plugin is blocking the language switching. Disabling the plugin, restarting the browser, logging off and on, displays the Administrator site (backend) in chosen language.
Thank you all for participating and pushing me towards trying to debug differently.
