It's certainly possible that some of the buildfarm machines use locales
that haven't been covered --- or at least weren't covered when you
started that project; we fixed things for sv_SE just a couple months
ago, for instance.

I'm not sure whether it'd be sane to promise that we'd make the
regression tests work on any locale at all. But I agree that it's
worth experimenting to see where they do or don't work now.
