i never said you couldnt override them.  i said the *default behavior* would 
be to try and autodetect whether to enable passthru.

and LC_CTYPE or LC_MESSAGES probably are the best vars to use for 
autodetection:
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data 
as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in 
arguments and input files).

Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of 
diagnostic messages written to standard error.

gee, that sounds exactly like what you're trying to do ...
