I do not see why. If you enable utf8 support, it does not mean you want it in console. The user should specify his LANG himself, as well as the fact that it should rather be: ELANG=3D"en_US.UTF-8" and then get it to propagate only to the users, as there are still a lot of things breaking during build with LANG, et el set.
