Oh, I found my old patch to force UTF-8 on Android. I didn't test it:
see attached file.
It would be nice to start a wiki page to collect all informations on
the Python port to Android.

Android provides a minimal support of locales. Most functions return a fake result, do nothing. I'm not sure that it supports any codec. To support Android, we may force UTF-8 for the filesystem encoding, as done on Mac OS X.

: No...
...but I think I found the issue with grep. Try applying the attached patch to the Python/frozenmain.c. It comments out the locale handling.
It seems that Python always calls its strdup function on the locale string. On Android, this can apparently be null (as seen in the bug report you linked to).

That way we can see where Python's own strdup function is getting called.
