Of course not because you are not using the locale.  Using a locale
means using all of the categories.  As Paul already explained, mixing
categories from different locales is possible but the behavior is
undefined.  Especially the LC_CTYPE category must always match the the
categories you are using.

This program could do whatever it wants, start nethack, format your
harddisk, whatever.  Its behavior is undefined.
