Instead of an answer, here a snippet from the ConTeXt sources
(luat-env.lua):

········································································
-- precautions

os.setlocale(nil,nil) -- useless feature and even dangerous in luatex

function os.setlocale()
    -- no way you can mess with it
end
········································································
