Note that this is fixed in the 2.2 beta releases.  See the discussion in
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Environment-Variables.html#Environment-Variables
(part of the 2.0 manual) for more on GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE.

Unfortunately there is still a bug in GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE=1 in most
versions of Guile 2.0 where Guile will install the locale, but not use
its charset for the default encoding :(  Fixed in 2.2 beta releases, and
will be fixed in 2.0.12.
