Well, no. I tried to use en_CA (actually, maybe en_CA.ISO-8859-1,
which may have been the problem all along). I used dpkg-reconfigure
locale and selected (among others) en_CA. Upon logging back in, I
found perl b*tch*ng about my locale and falling back to C.

I've since tried same with reportbug successfully.
