It's too early to fix this, also for another reason: I plan to change
gettext() so that it treats the C.UTF-8 locale like the C locale,
that is, no translations are looked up. Once this change is deployed,
we'll have to see how to adapt the quotearg module accordingly, and
the combination of both changes will likely have an impact on these
test results on Android.
