It should, but you didn't report a failure in Flymake (which should
use the actual locale), you reported a failure in flymake-tests, which
(for some reason) explicitly sets LC_ALL=C.  If you can show a recipe
for failure in Flymake itself that only happens in a UTF-8 locale,
please do.  Perhaps we will find that both problems are caused by the
same root cause, who knows?

Thanks.
