Can you honestly say that this isn't the vast majority of real-world
environments? (IIRC, you are based in Japan, so it may well be true
that the likelihood of problems is a lot higher where you are than
where I am - the UK - but I suspect that averaging out, things are
generally as above).
In my experience, it is normal on most unix systems that some programs
(mostly daemons) are running in default "POSIX" locale, others (most
user programs) are running in the "en_US.utf-8" locale, and some
luddite users have set themselves to "en_US.8859-1". All running on
the same system.
