The default behaviour of an unknown locale is the same than C. I don't
really know if the usage of this locale produces the same "Can't recode
string" errors, as C is a none locale which only covers ASCII.
But if I'm correct and this error shows conversation errors between the
internal representation and the user locale, ignoring (maybe with a
warning) of the unknown locale don't break more than using C as explicit
fallback by the user; the current behaviour is just more annoying.
