Lonnie, I had a very similar problem a couple of days ago. I needed to install the localeconf package, I did the configuration with debconf. I let the LANG be the default, C, after that I only set the LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE to hu_HU (that's the language I needed) to override the default and after that everything worked out fine. I guess setting the LC_CTYPE variable solved the problem. I'm sorry but I'm not an expert on this field, so I don't know where and what the debconf edited. My /etc/locale.gen has only one row "hu_HU ISO-8859-2", but where the LC_* was written...no clue...
Hope that helps a little..
