Not a stupid question at all; as it turns out I did the Fedora test with a different environment. I tried the Fedora test again with LC_ALL set and this time got the same misbehavior as on Ubuntu. (There was one other thing different: this time I got Chromium 104 instead of 103; don't know if that matters.)
