Another example is X11, which has its own locale system independent from Cygwin's. There, "ja_JP" implies eucJP already. This means that with LANG=ja_JP, xterm uses eucJP, while filenames and programs currently use the system's ANSI codepage, i.e. CP932 on Japanese systems. Result: mojibake. It does work correctly with LANG=ja_JP.SJIS.
