Not sure what scenario are we talking about here.  Do you mean that
Tramp sets LC_ALL, but the user overrides that with LC_MESSAGES?

Or do you mean that you want to cater to users who have neither
en_US.utf8 nor C.utf8 installed?

In any case, I meant to set that as part of the test in question, not
in general.
