How about --lc-ctype?  I think that accent handling would be driven by
LC_CTYPE not LC_COLLATE.  In any case, this is not a Postgres bug unless
you can show that other programs using the same LC_foo settings behave
differently.  We punt pretty much all locale-related processing to
subroutines in libc.
