Seems reasonable.  It's possible you needed "export" commands in there
too, but I wouldn't have thought so (anything coming in from the outer
environment should be exported already).

Hm, maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.  Let's try a direct test.
What do you get from

	select 'a_b'::text < 'ac'::text;

	select 'A_B'::text < 'ac'::text;

On my machine, these produce 't' in C locale, but 'f' in en_US locale.
