Might be UTF-8 language ENV messing up the test.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n and remove the utf-8 stuff, then try again. You 
might need to logout/login to fixup the ENV, not sure.
My i18n looks like this:

LANG="en_US"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
SUPPORTED="en_US:en"

I thought there was a workaround already in the source, but perhaps it's 
not working automatically for you.
