You did not mention what is "false" and what is "correct" sort order.
So I'm not sure I understand you problem, but I experience similar
ones with Japanese on some Linux platforms. In my case the source of
the problem was broken locale database coming with Linux. After
re-building PostgreSQL WITHOUT --enable-locale, all problems were
gone.

Hope this helps.
