Relatedly, LANG=en_US.UTF-8 *also *isn't installed everywhere.

(I've updated mine so I can run the tests with --utf8-locale=en_AU.UTF-8,
which differs from en_US.UTF-8 only in a few minor details that are not
significant to the test suite. For that matter, even
--utf8-locale=mi_NZ.UTF-8 seems not to cause any test failures.)

I'll look at a patch that avoids returning an error status when the only
failures are due to missing locales.
