Duplicate of MC-18640, please use the search function to see if your bug has already been submitted. Currently over 57% of tickets are being closed as duplicate.
Furthermore, there is no point on submitting a bug for 13w25c when 13w26a has fixed the problem.
It's still not a Launcher bug, it's old Minecraft crashing for some reason.
Maybe it's caused because the language code in newer versions is completely lowercased ("en_us") whereas in older versions the country part was uppercased ("en_US")
And still, anything below 1.11.2 is not supported here.
Maybe the cause of

MC-18494Fixed etc.
