I think a library should not call setlocale as it will impact the entire application. I think our only other realistic option is to use iconv (and stub it out for osmocomBB). Do you think you could try to create such a patch?
I'd suggest http://www.lemoda.net/c/ucs2-to-utf8/ and simply output UTF-8.
Maybe output an error if setlocal(LC_CTYPE,NULL) does not report that a UTF-8 locale is being used.
