I suspect you are referring to the PGENV_INITDB_OPTS set by default. We could try to guess the LANG settings and use them when there is no initdb opts set.
However, to keep things simple, I would suggest to check when the configuration is created/loaded if there are inconcistencies and warn the user.

what happens if you set LANGUAGE and LC_ALL?
