It works when I install: "glibc-utf8-locales" and start environment without -pure
with --preserve='^GUIX_LOCPATH$'

Yes.  Alternatively, you could add ‘glibc-utf8-locales’ to your
container and set GUIX_LOCPATH accordingly, like so:

  guix environment --container --ad-hoc glibc-utf8-locales tmux …

and then:

  export GUIX_LOCPATH=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/lib/locale

It is not a bug and you can run

  guix environment --container --ad-hoc glibc-utf8-locales tmux …

and then:

  export GUIX_LOCPATH=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/lib/locale

or use the option --preserve.


Closing.

All the best,
simon
