Yeah, I need to export that variable. Note that GnuPG's localization is not
complete -- it only supports iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-2 charsets for its
output messages. So, even under other locales you're going to get output
messages in iso-8859-1. To make things simple, I'm hardcoding --charset
iso-8859-1, until GnuPG can handle UTF-8 output.

I'm pretty sure that this is a valid option in my version of GnuPG 1.0.4.
Double check your version. I know it's not documented, so I didn't use it,
initially. When I tried to import a secret key, though, it refused to do
so, telling me to provide this option. So I did, and it worked.
Is anyone else unable to import private keys?
