Actually, it is broken, and in exactly the way you pointed out.
But it does not enter the broken state by default; only if you
explicitly say
	set decimalsign locale
where the current locale is, say, fr_FR.

So we still need to fix it.
I'm working on a patchset that forces LC_NUMERIC back to C
during command line parsing and during "save" commands, as well
as for the mouse zoom and the "test palette" command.
There may be other places that need it as well, but those are
the ones I have found so far.
