I'd report that to musl.
It's so easy to typo locales and their differences can be subtle,
that early diagnosis is better.

We can work around it in the test of course, with a skip.
It would be useful to have a WARN returns for tests to
indicate issue with the system rather than with coreutils.

Well not exactly as it's within "".
We probably just need to do \$ here.
