Ah, I can tell you exactly why that is, then.  I noticed this in
pythonrun.c while grepping the source:

#ifdef HAVE_SETLOCALE
        /* Set up the LC_CTYPE locale, so we can obtain
           the locale's charset without having to switch
           locales. */
        setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
#endif

SVN blames Martin in r56922, so this case is assigned appropriately. 
Perhaps changing only LC_CTYPE is safe?  I must admit to ignorance as to
what all the LC variables mean/control.
