I am running VirtualBox on OI hipster with US locale when loggin to Oi 
(and also US locale in VM guest) and haven't seen anything bad yet.
I can try how it behaves when OI desktop session is with another locale 
and when I boot into console in VM, so I will see if I can reproduce 
this and report.
