Loading the test script output as text file in LibreOffice also shows
the same issue (screenshot attached). So, it is not a bug of Konsole or
XTerm. Probably, the 3-byte UTF-8 thousands separator character of the
locale is not useful. May be it should be a simple space, or a normal
UTF-8
In a hexdump, printf seems to add a 3 characters for the thousands
separator:
#!/bin/sh
for l in de_DE en_US nb_NO nn_NO ; do
echo "LC_NUMERIC=$l.UTF-8"
for n in 1 100 1000 1 10 100 1000 ; do
LC_NUMERIC=$l.UTF-8 /usr/bin/printf "<%'8d>" $n | hexdump -C
done
Launchpad suppresses the spaces, it seems. I attached a screenshot of
the terminal output to display the formatting issue.

Public bug reported:
I just discovered a printf bug for at least the nb_NO and nn_NO locales
when printing numbers with thousands separator. To reproduce:
#!/bin/bash
for l in de_DE en_US nb_NO ; do
echo "LC_NUMERIC=$l.UTF-8"
for n in 1 100 1000 1 10 100 1000 ; do
9 matches
