Ok, here's some more information. I'm running Pandoc 2.7.3 on macOS 10.14.6.

My custom template hasn't been modified in the header area:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub=
"http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops"$if(lang)$ xml:lang="$lang$"$endif$>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <meta name="generator" content="pandoc" />
  <title>$pagetitle$</title>

I have a file called book-variables.yaml that looks like this:

---
lang: ja
title:
- type: main
  text: "Wow a book"
creator:
- role: author
  text: "Me"
language: ja
identifier:
- scheme: DOI
  text: doi:10.234234.234/33
ibooks:
  version: 1.3.4
page-progression-direction: ltr
---

And I am using the command:

/usr/local/bin/pandoc mybook_epub_apple_4pandoc /Users/me/Library/
MobileDocuments/com~apple~CloudDocs/book-variables.yaml -o mybook.epub --
from=markdown-smart --to=epub-smart         --toc --toc-depth=3 --epub-
chapter-level=2         -M date=2019-10-31         --css epub.css --resource
-path .:/Users/me/Library/MobileDocuments/com~apple~CloudDocs/audio  --epub-
cover-image=cover.jpg  --template mytemplate.epub3         &> 
epub_apple_pandoc_errors.txt

With this setup, cover.xhtml and title_page.xhtml have the language set on 
the HTML tag,  but none of the chapter files do. (ch001.xhtml, etc.)
