--> Really? AFAIK, Windows doesn't support collation names that look like that.
I meant to say Linux. Not Windows.

Really? AFAIK, Windows doesn't support collation names that look like that.

This appears to be the intended behavior of en_US sorting.
On a Linux machine I can reproduce it outside Postgres:
$ LANG=C sort stuff.txt
AAA
BAA
CAA
DAA
~!(at)#$^&(
$ LANG=en_US sort stuff.txt
~!(at)#$^&(
AAA
BAA
CAA
DAA
(The first line in my test file contains one space.)
