Actually that problem has been debugged: it's a NixOS bug. NixOS rejects
the locale to "eo.UTF-8" in its configuration files, even though
"eo.UTF-8" is a perfectly valid locale. It rejects it because the
"eo.UTF-8" string is not present in some text file (apparently the
"localedata/SUPPORTED" file from glibc).

Another similar example is the en_IL (English Israel) locale. X11's
locale.alias indicates that "en_IL" alone means "en_IL.ISO8859-1", yet
glibc provides only one encoding for "en_IL", namely "UTF-8".
To avoid such bugs, the most reasonable thing to do for users is to always
specify the encoding.
