To my mind it might be a plus for Emacs to pass it's LANG along in this particular situation
Yes, this sounds right. We can think of it as OS X having a screwy way to specify the locale, for GUI-launched applications; it doesn't bother to specify LC_ALL etc. and expects the application to do that. So Emacs should do that at the start, as if the user had done it before launching Emacs.
I looked around, and it appears the GnuCash ran into a similar problem. You might want to look at its solution, in:
