Historically we've printed a complaint for a bad locale setting, but then fallen back to the environment default. Per discussion, this is not such a great idea, because rectifying an erroneous locale choice post-initdb (perhaps long after data has been loaded) could be enormously expensive. Better to complain and give the user a chance to double-check things. The behavior was particularly bad if the bad setting came from environment variables rather than a bogus command-line switch: in that case not only was there a fallback to C/SQL_ASCII, but the printed complaint was quite unhelpful. It's hard to be entirely sure what variables setlocale looked at, but we can at least give a hint where the problem might be. Per a complaint from Tomas Vondra.
