Thank you :) I'll try restarting postgresql during our next maintenance window and report back.

That is interesting. I think it must mean that glibc's setlocale()
and newlocale() maintain some kind of internal cache about available
locales ... and there's no logic to flush it if /usr/share/locale
changes. The individual backends are probably inheriting the cache
state via fork from the postmaster.
