I think the question is, what does it return for a user when they carry
out a bzr+ssh command on Savannah, and I don't know any way to check
that (users are restricted to only being able to run bzr, nothing else).

The system default seems to be:

LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_ALL=
LC_everything-else=POSIX


Maybe I can just add

$ENV{'LANG'} = 'en_US.UTF-8'

to the wrapper script that spawns the bzr process when a user accesses
the system via bzr+ssh?

I don't want to mess anything up though. It's a bit odd that everything
other than bzr-email seems to work fine as-is...
