There are several possible reasons for this: Either the
locale wasn't .UTF-8 when you installed PostgreSQL or the
initdb wrapper of your distribution explicitely requested C
locale. Or the locale of the user doing the bootstrap (most
likely "postgres", sometime "root") isn't .UTF-8 (unlike
your personal account).

Now, the solution is to either re-initdb manually or to wait
for the updated server tarball which now does allow C
locale.
