It's similar, in that one can launch apps in various ways (e.g., via Gnome)
without involving shell environment variables.
Looking into this a bit more, I see that Alan Third wrote a fix for this problem
(which is apparently quite a zoo in macOS, as Apple keeps changing how to set
environment variables!) into Emacs in master commit
2016-02-11T02:26:50Z!alan@idiocy.org. However, Emacs currently sets the LANG
environment variable in ns_init_locale *after* Emacs uses LANG to set the
LC_TIME locale, which is not what is wanted here. So, please try the attached
patch to master. You'll need to grab the latest master as I recently installed a
locale cleanup patch while looking into this mess.
If this patch doesn't work for you, perhaps you can write a small variant of it
that does work.
