Both were already set to nl_NL.utf8, so my guess is that the lts.conf 
(without LDM_LANGUAGE configured) set everything to "C" and now with the 
above configuration sets everything to nl_NL.utf8.

If something is messed up, it is probably in the order of things 
happening during the booting of a terminal?

All the settings I tried in my previous e-mail had no effect on the 
effective locale of the terminals, but if I understand you correctly, it 
should have had effect...
