Does `locale -a` report that en_US is available?

Did you try en_GB.UTF-8 here?

The current version uses the value of AppleCollationOrder or
AppleLocale (e.g. defaults read .GlobalPreferences AppleLocale) to
find the locale in the locale.alias file, and defaults to
"en_US.UTF-8". I don't know if "en_US" is always available in OS X,
but surely "C.UTF-8" would be. I don't know why it can't modify the
existing LANG to use the UTF-8 codeset. Finally, I can't speak for OS
X, but the glibc locale.alias on Linux is obsolete and doesn't have an
alias for English.
