I've found a temporary solution for this bug, changing the LC_NUMERIC environment variable to "en_US.UTF-8".

sudo update-locale LC_NUMERIC=es_US.UTF-8

After that, the /etc/default/locale contains:

LANG="es_MX.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="es_MX:es"
LC_NUMERIC=es_US.UTF-8

I suppose that the bug is related with the file /usr/share/i18n/locales/es-MX which contents the following lines:

LC_NUMERIC
copy "es_ES"
END LC_NUMERIC

However, try change this file and it had no effect with the decimal separator.
