I am in investigating in similar lines, I think the following explanation can help.
From Microsoft doc.
The locale argument to the setlocale, _wsetlocale, _create_locale, and _wcreate_locale is
locale :: "locale-name"
|
"language[_country-region[.code-page]]" | ".code-page"
| "C"
| ""
| NULL
For GetLocaleInfoEx locale argument is
<language>-<REGION><language>-<Script>-<REGION>
As we can see _create_locale will also accept the locale appended with code-page but that is not the case in lateral.
The important point is in our current issue we need locale name only and both
functions(GetLocaleInfoEx, _create_locale) support an equal number of locales
names if go by the syntax of the locale described on Microsoft documents. With that thought, I am parsing the input
string to remove the code-page and give it as input to GelLocaleInfoEx.
I have attached the new patch.

I don't know how to use these tests on windows, but I had a look in these tests, I didn't found any test which could hit the function we are modifying.
I m still working on testing this patch. If anyone has Idea please suggest.
