Thanks to both of you for the reports.
Here's a tentative patch:

Subject: [PATCH] tests: avoid spurious test failure due to lack of a French 
UTF8 locale

* tests/init.cfg: New file.  If either $LOCALE_FR or $LOCALE_FR_UTF8
is set to "none", reset it to the empty string.
Reported by Mike Frysinger and Sven Joachim.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add init.cfg.
