IMO the point of that test is largely to exercise this locale-dependent
behavior, so I'm very unwilling to dumb it down to that extent.

What seems to be happening is that the spawned psql process is making
a different choice about what the LC_NUMERIC locale is than its parent
perl process did. That seems like it might be a bug in itself, since
POSIX is pretty clear about how you're supposed to derive the locale
from the relevant environment variables. But maybe it's Perl's bug?
