This is quite untrue; we have variant regression files that exist
specifically to support running the tests under various popular locales.
As Hiroshi-san points out, --no-locale isn't even the default in the
Unix makefile.
Perhaps the Windows locales are different enough that what we have
doesn't cover them?
