Investigated this further. The problem is that the pg_regress run
creates regression database with specific properties but the restored
database does not have those properties. That led me to a better
solution. Additionally it's local to the new test. Use --create when
dumping and restoring the regression database. This way the database
properties or "configuration variable settings (as pg_dump
documentation calls them) are copied to the restored database as well.
Those properties include LC_MONETARY. Additionally now the test covers
--create option as well.
PFA patches.
