We have run into the same issue.  It has caused problems for us on
postgres servers where new connections to postgres are rejected while
the locales are being regenerated so it’s pretty major for us.  Still
a problem on jessie.  I’m surprised that after 3.5 years there has
still not been any reply on this bug.
