I use OSX since 2011 and the behavior of Emacs has always been that 
way.. I have a MBP in which OSX is in Italian but the keyboard is US.

From Terminal:

$ locale
LANG="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

but (getenv "LANG") shows 'it_IT'...

BTW, I have also GNU/Linux Mint 17.3 (Mate) (in dual boot with W7) on a 
PC with US keyboard (I would say the same model of MBP). It is in 
Italian and from Terminal,

$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

but here the behavior is what I expect..

OK,
