There is really nothing in the standard I can find which is explicit about how locales affect parsing of programs using any of the languages it defines (awk, bc, sed, sh ...) - and I would certainly hesitate to jump to the conclusion that the locale settings are intended to affect that, in fact I think that would be an extremely poor result.
At least for sh -- I didn't look at the other utilities -- the standard is
fairly explicit that <blank> characters delimit tokens, and <blank> is
locale-specific.
