Yes, this sounds right. We can think of it as OS X having a screwy way 
to specify the locale, for GUI-launched applications; it doesn't bother 
to specify LC_ALL etc. and expects the application to do that. So Emacs 
should do that at the start, as if the user had done it before launching 
Emacs.

I looked around, and it appears the GnuCash ran into a similar problem. 
You might want to look at its solution, in:
