You didn't specify what would you consider "working correctly"
so I assume you expect LC_COLLATE not to affect what a range expression
matches.
SUSv3 says:
7. In the POSIX locale, a range expression represents the set of collating
elements that fall between two elements in the collation sequence,
inclusive.
In other locales, a range expression has unspecified behavior: strictly
conforming applications shall not rely on whether the range expression is
valid, or on the set of collating elements matched.
I would say matching according to the specified collating order _is_ reasonable.

Another question is if the collating order for pl_PL placing lowercase letters
before corresponding uppercase letters is correct. I'm not sure.
Actually I'd do the opposite but it's not based on reading of any actual
standards.
