Yes, that sounds right. If you comment out the "français" and "bokmål" lines from locale.alias, I assume that fixes the problem? If so, let's do that. The fancier fixes you mention also sound nice, but omitting the non-ASCII aliases should be helpful anyway, for programs other than 'locale' itself.
