$ LANG=en_GB gnumeric
$ ls foo* | od -tx1 | head -n 1
0000000 66 6f 6f e9 2e 67 6e 75 6d 65 72 69 63 0a

And I've just shown that it does. The score is 2-1.

If you are using a distro (RH8+ ?) that has a tweaked locale settings,
then live with it and don't claim that this unspecified behaviour
is a standard and subversion's deviation from it is "a bug".

If you like continue this debate, please bring references to ie. LSB [1] or
some POSIX standard that are saying that default file coding is
UTF-8 - in every case, despite locale settings.
