All I can think of is that some other script is undoing what you set
(e.g. /etc/profile or the user's ~/.bash_profile', `~/.bash_login', and
`~/.profile').

One thing you might try is to temporarily add lines such as the
following to each of the above:

echo .profile: $LC_COLLATE >> /tmp/BASH_DEBUG

making sure /tmp/BASH_DEBUG is world-writeable of course.
