More information. The same error occurs with the other locales I've tried, including en_US.UTF-8, fr_FR.UTF-8, etc.

If this is a locale definition problem, one wouldn't be surprising to see the same thing in all locales since LC_COLLATE is defined via a common file: /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1

To see if the locale files were at fault, I copied over the "iso14651_t1" file from my Gentoo machine (where sort works correctly), ran "locale-gen", and rebooted to be safe. But sort is still broken. Could there be some ubuntu-specific glibc patch that is causing the different behavior?
