That's all normal and expected.

What's odd is that client *actually has* LC_NUMERIC and so on set in
its environment.  Which... is not a problem if they're all set to the
correct values.  It's weird, but not wrong.  The problem for the OP was
that one of the values was not set correctly, or at least not as
expected.

At this point we have no idea whether the ssh client is even a Unix/Linux
system.  It could be anything.  It could be a literal toaster.
