Hmm, doesn't work for me either:
$ LANG=en_US.utf8 initdb
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
Using default ICU locale "en_US".
Using language tag "en-US" for ICU locale "en_US".
The database cluster will be initialized with this locale configuration:
provider: icu
ICU locale: en-US
LC_COLLATE: en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE: en_US.utf8
LC_MESSAGES: en_US.utf8
LC_MONETARY: en_US.utf8
LC_NUMERIC: en_US.utf8
LC_TIME: en_US.utf8
...
$ psql postgres
psql (16devel)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# SELECT '+' < '-' ;
?column?
----------
f
(1 row)
(as expected, so far)
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE test1 TEMPLATE=template0 ENCODING = 'UTF8' LOCALE =
'C';
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# \c test1
You are now connected to database "test1" as user "postgres".
test1=# SELECT '+' < '-' ;
?column?
----------
f
(1 row)
(wrong!)
test1=# \l

Looks like the "pick en-US even when told not to" problem exists here too.
