Replying to duncan:

I can confirm c2hs fails like this with Serbian locale (sr_RS.UTF8) as well. I suppose c2hs fails to read unicode characters. To fix that I added a small wrapper script arount c2hs (just "LANG=C c2hs-bin $*") and moved the real c2hs to c2hs-bin. Maybe that could be included in c2hs as a quick fix until this is properly handled?

Best regards & keep up the good work Filip Brcic (brcha AT gna DOT org)

The latest darcs version may fix this. It uses the latest language-c which when built with alex 3 may handle the unicode correctly. Worth someone trying and confirming.
