From bash I needed to do both:
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ export LANG=C
Setting just LC_ALL=C should have been sufficient. If the behavior
changes between that and when LANG=C is also set, then there's a bug
in the system libc.

I seem to recall that Linux has a symlink-loop limit of 5, which is
much lower than other unices. The test may need to be changed to be
generally portable.

BTW, the point of LANG vs LC_foo is that can set LANG to be the locale
you desire for most of the categories, and then override the
exceptions directly with LC_foo. You should be able to get by with
just two locale settings:
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
...plus the glibc extension of:
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
(Setting LC_ALL to nothing is a no-op)
