Okay, I think I know what's going on, thanks to google ;)

This guy had the same problem - for him it came from gnome.ui locale settings, so I guess it's the same for us. So it doesn't really come from i18n, but rather from l10n. Importing random before any locale is set or doing as suggested in the 3rd mail should do it.

Or maybe we can do without locales at all?
