I don't observe this behavior on my host (Debian stable x86, coreutils
5.93, POSIX locale).  I also tried the en_US.UTF-8 locale.

What is the output of the "locale" command in the buggy environment?

Is the buggy build using lib/regex.o, or did it use the regex
facilities of the operating system?  If the latter, then that
might explain things.
