I'm not an expert on this area but I'd be 99% sure it's something funny
about the collation sequence, not the shell: we've seen such things
before and they do appear to be gratuitously different (well, to be
fair, in roughly the sense that Polish is "gratuitously different" from
French Canadian).  We're going to have to be even more careful picking
them, I suppose.
