But if --locale, --lc-ctype, or --lc-collate are specified and
incompatible, they will throw an error instead.

Overall the code looks good to me. I do have a question about the design here.

Are we assuming that 

* if the settings come from command line options, then the user is intentionally doing that, so we throw an error
* if the settings come from env, then the user might not be aware of them, so we only issue a warning?

If that’s the case, I’m not fully convinced by this design. Since initdb is a one-time operation, I think it would be better to require everything to be explicit.
