In the case of no JS, it is strange that we don't see the fallback 
messages in the screenshot. If you examine the rendered source of the 
download page, you see these:

<p class="languages-packs-fallback">
    You seem to have JavaScript disabled in your web browser.
</p>
<p class="languages-packs-fallback">
    You can directly access the language-related packages in <a 
href="https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/";>the 
file listings</a>.
</p>

When you load a page, it has no-js as a class for the html element. If 
JS is active, the class is changed to js. You can test it in your 
browser by going to dev tools and editing the class to be no-js - you 
will see the fallback messages on the page.

Daniel: I need to be in direct contact with the user who sees this.
