I get the same result if I clear the environment using env - ...
All the variables whose values are listed as "C" were actually not
set; but setlocale reports them as "C". Not that it matters: Setting
them to "C" does not change anything either.

You're right, this is on 10.5.8. The macports tree is quite recent
however, about a week since I upgraded.
