Hmm, it doesn't do that for me.  initdb actually takes some pains to
ensure that PGCLIENTENCODING doesn't affect it:

        /* Also ensure backend isn't confused by this environment var: */
        unsetenv("PGCLIENTENCODING");

I suppose that unsetenv isn't working properly on your platform for some
reason.  Does configure think that it's present?  If not, we're going to
fall back to the implementation in src/port/unsetenv.c, which might not
work for you.
