Thanks for looking into this. I've now figured out how to fix it, but not why it was happening. Previously I had my locale set to "C" and no locales generated, by reconfiguring locales (dpkg-reconfigure locales) and generating en_us and selecting that as my default locale, the problem goes away. Now I can no longer reproduce the bug, even if I switch the locale back from en_us to C and uncheck en_us to be generated by locale. But I'm certain that this caused the bug to disappear. I've answered your questions below.
