That looks like the output of locale(1) rather than variable
assignments. The Linux man page for locale explains it concisely:
Values for variables set in the environment are printed without
double quotes, implied values are printed with double quotes.
POSIX.1 specifies the same behavior. And it specifically mentions
the "LC_ALL=\n" output when LC_ALL isn't set.
I get the exact same output on my Fedora 30 box, and I don't set
any of those variables.
