I think it's the other way around: GetACP is likely to report codepage
1252, the ANSI codepage of Windows localized for Western Europe
systems.  Codepage 850, OTOH, is the _console_ codepage for those
locales.  (Yes, it's a mess.)  Info makes a point to query the system
about the console output codepage:

  char *
  rpl_nl_langinfo (nl_item item)
  {
    if (item == CODESET)
      {
        static char buf[100];

        /* We need all the help we can get from GNU libiconv, so we
           request transliteration as well.  */
        sprintf (buf, "CP%u//TRANSLIT", GetConsoleOutputCP ()); <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        return buf;
      }
    else
      return nl_langinfo (item);
  }
