Bug Description
A bug in migration-assistant is preventing French users coming from Windows XP Home from installing Ubuntu via Wubi.
The problem occurs because migration-assistant is fed non-UTF data. The fix is to force the locale to C when using expr. There should be minimal to no possibility for regressions here, given the simplicity of the change.
TEST CASE:
Install Ubuntu using Wubi from a French copy of Windows XP Home Edition ("Windows XP Édition familiale"). The install will fail at the migration-assistant apply phase ("Import documents and settings" at 88%).
A patch for the uploaded change can be found here:

Same OS, with the "é"dition familiale, and same bug.
This bug seems to affect only french users, and then it might be connected with the "é" in the OS name.
