but then seems to break another one:
export LC_ALL=C
PS1='\[\e[0;33m\]\u\[\e[0m\] '
printf a > foo.txt
cat foo.txt

then again, this test is broken atm with a unicode locale:
PS1='\[\e[0;33m\]\u\[\e[0m\] '
printf a > foo.txt
export LC_ALL=en_US
cat foo.txt             <- works
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8
cat foo.txt             <- fails
