Consider upgrading.  The latest stable coreutils is at 6.9.

You've brought this up before, and the answer is the same as before.
Coreutils does not yet support multibyte locales, because no one has yet
contributed a patch that is usable across all the coreutils that handle
text, which is easy to maintain, and which does not penalize performance
on single-byte locales.
