My guess is that there's a bug in strcoll on your system.
Diff relies on strcoll of file names; if strcoll is
busted in your locale, diff won't work. One workaround,
as you've discovered, is to switch to a locale where
strcoll works reliably.
To test my theory you could inspect all the calls to
strcoll and make sure the results that they return
are correct for your locale. This will require a debugger
though.
