Over the years I remember maybe three times I've had to untar a stage3 on top of a "working" system, and IIRC the catastrophic problem was glibc each time :/ Anyway, the first time I tried it I learned that the stage3 overwrites the existing /etc directory. (That was so painful I remembered to move /etc out of the way the next two times it did it :) I mention all this because /etc/locale.conf may not be the file you expect, based on how your compile environment and chroot stuff is configured, etc. I been there/done that :)
