Hi Jarno,
Please keep bug-gnulib in CC when you reply to me. We have a mailing list
because the expertise for gnulib is spread across several people.

Please, always when you report a malfunctioning, or a possible
malfunctioning, include relevant details about your platform,
about tools that might affect this malfunctioning, and a "how to
reproduce". Always.
In this case, this means:
- What's your OS? ("uname -sr")?
- Where's the 'tr' program coming from? ("which tr")?
- What's your locale? ("locale")?
Also, when you report a problem that arises during execution of a
shell script, it's a good idea to modify the script by adding
set -x
near the beginning, so that it produces some traces.
After having done and reported that, can you please try this
attempted workaround (not yet committed)?
