Default locale & browser language detection confusion

See original GitHub issue

Given 2 locales ('en', 'fr'), default locale is 'en' and the preferred browser language is 'fr', with the 'prefixexceptdefault' option, the steps to reproduce it would be:
Visit home page '/' --> browser language is detected and redirected to '/fr', which is correct.
Close the browser.
Open a new browser and enter the home page ('/') again

What is expected ?

I would expect that, when opening the home page again, the application would be redirected to '/fr' instead of staying in '/'.

What is actually happening?

 'en' locale is chosen, ignoring cookie.

Same bug with v5.4.4 of nuxt-i18n (inspired by nuxt-i18n example of @paulgv )

modules: ['nuxt-i18n' {
  locales: [
    { code: 'fr', iso: 'fr-FR', name: 'Français' },
    { code: 'en', iso: 'en-GB', name: 'English' },
    { code: 'de', iso: 'de-DE', name: 'Deutsch' },
    { code: 'es', iso: 'es-ES', name: 'Español' },
    { code: 'it', iso: 'it-IT', name: 'Italiano' },
    { code: 'pt', iso: 'pt-PT', name: 'Português' }
  ],
  defaultLocale: 'en',
  detectBrowserLanguage: {
    useCookie: true,
    alwaysRedirect: true
  },
  vueI18n: {
    messages: { fr, en, de, es, it, pt }
  }
}],

(alwaysRedirect variable found here : https://github.com/nuxt-community/nuxt-i18n/pull/148/commits/38b0cbbf9033e5ffe128aa776e0f6f4ee03076af)
