my rationale for running the tests with a non-US locale was to increase the chance of catching bugs where the external locale setting affects Python's behaviour.

maybe it would be a good idea to add a "use setlocale" flag to the test- runner ?

Sounds like a good use for buildbot. After running the tests "normally" they could be re-run with a different locale.
