And remember that on some platforms (including yours) ICU is used, so
LC_COLLATE is not particularly relevant (unless it is 'C'). See
?Comparisons and ?icuGetCollate.
E.g. on my Yosemite system in en_US.UTF-
Yes, collation is a strange thing, and?
Collation order will depend on locale settings, and there are quite a few cases
where the collation order of two items is not defined.
To add to the confusion, on OSX Mavericks, I see

[1] 2
Once again again, I did not read the Subject correctly. I switched away
from UTF8 in my second test.

also interesting, and confusing to me:

[1] FALSE

With some slight changes:

> xy <- c(x,y)
> rank
x <- "\u0663"
y <- 3
x == y
# FALSE
rank(c(x, y))
# c(1.5, 1.5)
