Seems to be working fine.

One tweak I would suggest is to anchor on opposite corner on inline direction by default, so that it looks more polished. Currently when using minerva skin on larger screen, it can look like this

Thanks, fixed in latest patch:

It's working in articles but not on the main page. I'm happy to file a separate bug report if you like.

Steps to reproduce:

Navigate to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page while being logged-in and with ULS rewrite beta feature enabled
Try clicking on the "language" button

Nothing happens – except for the URL changing to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page#/languages

Repeating the same steps (or just opening the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page#/languages) with the beta feature disabled (or logged-out) works as expected.
I confirmed the issue on dewiki's and frwiki's main page as well.
