As you mentioned Michael, there was discussion of this problem a few times in the past.
The problem setting is not LANG, though, it's LC_CTYPE. The system is somehow setting that to "UTF-8", and Python checks LC_CTYPE (and LC_ALL next) before it checks LANG, so setting LANG in GRASS won't help, as Agustin found.
