It maybe a bit rude, admittedly, but it is just like that: If you cannot get
your system to work properly (or if it is broken by design - it shouldn't offer
non-valid choices at all), then you may be better of with a different one that
does what it is supposed to do, without having to read dozens of man-pages or
other documentation, without having to try 5 different locales until one gets to
one that actually is supported by the system.

It is definitely the system that has an issue here. And the others circumvent
that buggy configuration. OOo is not willing to introduce hacks for that.
Instead it now tries to fallback to en_US. But if that fails as well, then
you're basically on your own to fix the setup.

It definitely won't work with vanilla OOo 1.1.5 either. Maybe your distro
patched the startup-scripts or similar from 1.1.5 to set a valid locale. OOo 2.0
is less voulnerable to that problem since it now tries to fallback to en_US when
it encounters C.
For more (technical) details, please see issue 16318
And BTW: It wasn't meant to be used like this:
export LC_CTYPE="en_US soffice"
but like this
export LC_CTYPE="en_US"
soffice
or
LC_CTYPE="en_US" soffice
