I see this as well.

That sounds like the /bin/sh would have a bug. But in fact, $LOCALE_FR_UTF8
comes from config.status:
$ grep LOCALE_FR config.status
S["LOCALE_FR_UTF8"]="none"
S["LOCALE_FR"]="none"
configure has determined that the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale is a fake one, and
therefore set LOCALE_FR_UTF8 to "none".

If I do this in config.status, complete the build, and run the tests, indeed
lang-perl-2 PASSes, which means that there is no problem in the integration
with libintl-perl.
