I believe I found the cause of the locale related testsuite failures:

% grep -r en_US testsuite/
testsuite/simple.exp:set env(LANG) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/simple.exp:set env(LANGUAGE) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/simple.exp:set env(LC_ALL) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/network.all/network.exp:set env(LANG) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/network.all/network.exp:set env(LANGUAGE) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/network.all/network.exp:set env(LC_ALL) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/misc-haxe.all/classes.all/classes.exp:set env(LANG) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/misc-haxe.all/classes.all/classes.exp:set env(LANGUAGE) en_US.UTF-8
testsuite/misc-haxe.all/classes.all/classes.exp:set env(LC_ALL) en_US.UTF-8
%

The test suite expect the en_US.UTF-8 locale to exist, and fail if it
does not.

I would recommend adding a new testsuite test to verify that the
output of 'locale charmap' is UTF-8, and report an error with the
current locale if it is not.  It would make it more obvious how to fix
this problem.  Even better would be to pick an existing UTF-8 locale
using 'locale -a | grep -i utf-8 | head -1' or similar instead of
hardcoding en_US.UTF-8.

I've added the en_US.UTF-8 locale to my buildbot slave, and the
uppercase/lowercase test now succeeds.

Happy hacking,
