Is it really so?

On my system, sid i386, I've got this:

---- 
$ echo `LC_ALL=fr_FR gettext tar 'Size differs'`
Les tailles diffèrent.
$ echo `LC_ALL=fr_FR LANGUAGE=C gettext tar 'Size differs'`
Size differs
$ echo `LC_ALL=en_US LANGUAGE=fr_FR gettext tar 'Size differs'`
Les tailles diffèrent.
$ echo `LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=fr_FR gettext tar 'Size differs'`
Size differs
$ echo `LANG=en_US LC_MESSAGES=en_US LANGUAGE=fr_FR gettext tar 'Size differs'`
Les tailles diffèrent.
$ echo `LANG=en_US LC_MESSAGES=C LANGUAGE=fr_FR gettext tar 'Size differs'`
Size differs
