Did you try it with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 *not just* LANG=en_US? Making sure, of course, that you login fresh with the changes in LANG. I just verified that if I have LANG=en_US in my ~/.bash_profile it will act as you describe. Further, in konsole I get LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in the environment. So, you may be seeing something misleading.
