Is your system old enough so that the file could be a legacy from
previous runs of "dpkg-reconfigure locales"?

AFAIK, /etc/environment is depreciated in favor of /etc/default/locale.
It seems that the new file automatically gets configured without the
problematic quotes around the locale names. Your problem suggests that
"sudo -i" still uses settings from /etc/environment, which might be a
bug. (I am not sure about the official Debian policy regarding
/etc/environment and /etc/default/locale.)
