Yes, you do ;-) Certain programs, in this case luatex, require correct locale setup to work. It would be nice if we could detect these problems beforehand and warn the user with a clear message, but also this is non-trivial. If the locale are incorrectly setup, there is not much to do but fail. Think about: You could configure to set your shell to /bin/IamNotThereBash and it would of course create a lot of problems. Maintainer scripts cannot work around all possible misconfiguration of a system.
