Subversion depends heavily on your locale info not only for display purposes, but for interpreting your config files and translating the filenames in your working copy to and from UTF-8. It really does not want to get this information wrong, so I think the developers are afraid to just fall back on something like 'POSIX'. I'm calling this one 'wontfix' because I'm pretty sure it's a conscious decision. I'll ping upstream about it, though, to make sure.
