Does anything change if you change the .po/.mo files?
Looking at the code, i see that glib calls g_utf8_normalize() on two
arguments that g_utf8_collate() is given, and does not check the return
values to not to be NULL. They could be NULL if input strings are not
UTF-8. Therefore, fudging the input strings might affect the program's
behaviour.

Obviously, the best way is to have a version of glib compiled with debug
symbols and maybe with -Og, and just debug the problem in gdb.
