I must admit I don't know much about the locale system, but on my FC2
system I get the same:

$ locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
.
.
But,
$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8
$ echo $LC_CTYPE
 
$ echo $LC_COLLATE

$

So the values being printed by 'locale' are not the environment
variables - is it possible they are being derived from somewhere based
on the value of $LANG?
