AFAIK first sets environment to "native" one. If LANG nor LC_ALL
is set, this means "C". So the result you've got is correct AFAICS.

If LANG/LC_ALL is set to some bogus value and it still succeeds,
it's an error. Itojun made couple of fixes to LC_CTYPE loading
so that it returns failure as appropriate, you might want to update
to up-to-date sources and try again.
