Using the same kind of argument because a program use libc and libc is
broken (e.g bad code in a specific function), is is not a critical bug
because all program are supposed to use libc?

That is debian installer bad local choice. Before saying things like
that please take the last rc2  installer and choose a french keyboard
and currency. You then get a system wide default locale without UTF8.
namely fr_FR at euro.

Plus, unless I missed something, you are wrong I send example with
LANG=fr_FR at UTF8 set and the bug still happens. See message #29.

Any gnome software is then very related! see comment on libc.
