LC_NUMERIC only controls formatting functions, not raw input; from the
manual entry on lc_numeric:
Sets the locale to use for formatting numbers, for example
with the <function>to_char</function> family of
functions. Acceptable values are system-dependent; see <xref
linkend="locale"> for more information. If this variable is
set to the empty string (which is the default) then the value
is inherited from the execution environment of the server in a
system-dependent way.
