I am suspicious that we need LC_MONETARY set.

I'm suspicious that you need to run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and select "en_US ISO-8859-15". I have that enabled on my system but have never used it. I too run zsh (Canada):

LANG="en_CA" LANGUAGE="en_CA"

(not grml; Debian stable/Sarge), and I've since changed those to "....iso885915". When I get a chance, I'll test them out and report back.

...

LC_ALL=en_US.iso885915

As root, vi /etc/locale.gen, and add:

en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15

then run dpkg-reconfigure locales.

I also added:

english en_CA.ISO-8859-15

to /etc/locale.alias, but this is likely irrelevant.
