Fixed.

Thanks for looking!

One new-to-me fact from the -general mailing list this morning[1] is
that the EDB installer is explicitly feeding these unstable locale
names into the world's database clusters, so that's something that's
beyond the power of us upstream PostgreSQL hackers to fix even if we
pulled the trigger on the initdb BCP47-by-default patch[2].  Something
for someone at EDB to look into?
