State-Changed-Why:
Well, that's a silly bug.

It's trying to print the octet sequence 0xc2 0xa0, but only the 0xc2 is
coming out, because...

    631 	char thousands_sep;	/* locale specific thousands separator */
...
    923 			thousands_sep = *(localeconv_l(loc)->thousands_sep);

I.e., it's just working with the first byte of the string!
