Alas this is not correct; I can reproduce without varying the locale.

Well, quite. This confirms locale is not the problem.

(As an aside, I'm not sure we-the-Reproducible-team should be so keen to
file toolchain bugs without patches unless we are a little more
confident about the certainty and/or fix required to resolve them. We
run the risk of exhausting maintainers' patience and confidence in our
sub-project.)
