G'day,
it is not just for unicode. It is broken for all locales except "C".
There is even a FAQ about this at;
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Sort-does-not-sort-in-normal-order_0021
This FAQ basically blames bad locale sort tables, so it is possible the
problem is not with sort, but with whatever has the locale sort tables.
This needs to be fixed. When you start to have FAQ's advising people how
to work around bugs like this, things are bad. A quick search found
people forcing locale="C" for sorts all over the place.
