Looking closer into it, may I suggest renaming the file in question?

The real fix would be for ‘graft-derivation/shallow’ to return a
dependency that depends on ‘glibc-utf8-locales’, but that can create
bootstrapping issues (also we don’t want unit tests to trigger a build
of ‘glibc-utf8-locales’ and everything before that).
