I edited the launchd config to force LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" and the test
suddenly passes, which is good. I have no idea why the LANG would end up
different when the app is launched from launchd -- even though it was
running as the same user as I was doing the testing against -- but,
apparently, it was.

But, issue4388 and issue9992 seem to already be in, and I commented on them.

Thanks for the help in figuring this out. :)
