Personally I would like to turn off the test on OS X for now and then try to see if there is a proper way to solve this. In what way does that help? The test shows that the locale module is broken on OS X. So the only sensible options are to remove the module (or atleast the relevant functions), or to fix them. I fail to see how skipping the test does any good. The test fails, and life goes on.

It prevents repetitive bug reports for an issue we already know about. And as I said in the email, test_locale is skipped for OS X so I thought same reasoning would apply here.
