But serif.plain.korean isn't used unless it is a Korean locale .. so what's the point ?

And this one line already added 
allfonts.korean=Malgun Gothic
will provide it as a fall back so I don't see the need.
If I am an English language user running in a US / UK locale I'll get my Korean glyphs from there with the only difference being it isn't in the same place in the precedence order.
This also ensures that any "new" code points added in that font not present in the older ones will always be available.
