I'd have thought so, too. Try the other variations: include the hyphen
but don't capitalize, and the other way around. On my system, all four
work equally:

rosuav@sikorsky:~$ echo $LANG
en_AU.UTF-8
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ LANG=en_AU.utf8 python3.5 -c 'import locale;
print(locale.getpreferredencoding(False))'
UTF-8
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ LANG=en_AU.utf-8 python3.5 -c 'import locale;
print(locale.getpreferredencoding(False))'
UTF-8
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ LANG=en_AU.UTF8 python3.5 -c 'import locale;
print(locale.getpreferredencoding(False))'
UTF-8
rosuav@sikorsky:~$ LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 python3.5 -c 'import locale;
print(locale.getpreferredencoding(False))'
UTF-8

However, and very interestingly, en_US does not:

rosuav@sikorsky:~$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 python3.5 -c 'import locale;
print(locale.getpreferredencoding(False))'
ANSI_X3.4-1968

Which is probably because I don't have US locales installed. Maybe
there's something about exactly what's installed??
