forwarding LANG and LC_* variables to the peer seems to be only

Absolutely not, what a terrible idea.
I couldn't agree more, but please see the xterm packages on Debian
and RedHat, and my related question about how to *undo* the
SendEnv LANG LC_*
in Debian's /etc/ssh/ssh_config in my .ssh/config.
Anyway, the problem here is that MacOS sets a locale "UTF-8" in
LC_CTYPE instead of "en_US.UTF-8", which produces problems even
though UTF-8 is available on all involved systems.
For an introduction to the topic, see
https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160308204011
The end of that article specifically discusses ssh(1).
I highly appreciate your link, but for a Linux package maintainer it
is too easy to ignore the problem.
Maybe you should consider to add some guidelines about how to handle
locales into a README within the openssh source package, or in
ssh_config(5), sshd_config(5), etc.?
Thank you very much
Harri
