This is a misunderstanding: by ``environment'' I meant the set of
environment variables outside the program, in the parent shell.

The standard defines how to set a C locale from within a program, not
how to set it from outside a program.  If emacsclient.c called
setlocale, which it doesn't, I wouldn't be wondering about isalpha.

The standard specifies that the locale should be C unless specified
otherwise, but I don't think the Windows runtime is compatible with
C9x, so we cannot rely on this behavior.  To say nothing of those
users who have some other locale set in their environment.
