It would seem that rather than forcing the locale to be en_US to make the test assertions valid, you could work with the default locale and guard any assertions that are locale-specific. It would seem a shame to loose the diversity of testing on multiple locale machines if the tests always force everyone to look like an American (horror! ;-) ) I would expect the fix therefore to be something like, if locale is en_US go ahead and assert more round-tripping code, otherwise can't test it as the spec allows variances.
