glibc does end up setting that, it's not just what was left there from
before.

Yep.

Could force an errno=EINVAL in there, so that's always the error
given.  Or alternately put errno=EINVAL before the setlocale, as a
default if setlocale doesn't change errno.  I suppose the former might
be most standards-compliant.
