The result of [a-z] in locales other than C or POSIX is implementation- defined. If you want to refer to "any lower case letter" portably, you need to use [[:lower:]] instead. However, bash does define a shopt called "globasciiranges" which changes the behavior of [a-z] from locale-based to traditional US-ASCII. You might want to try that, if you aren't willing to use the portable syntax, or to dumb down your LC_* variables.
