In my setup with Engish as preferred language and Russia as region
(attaching a screenshot from System Preferences), I'm getting this
warning:

/opt/local/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale
(en_RU.UTF-8): No such file or directory

because LC_ALL is now being set to en_RU.UTF-8 (LANG is set explicitly
to ru_RU.UTF-8 in my .bash_profile and is thus untouched by Emacs).

So maybe we should check that the locale is valid before setting it...
