It appears when compiling within the LilyPond 2.19.45 application that comes 
with the MacOS distribution. In the compile text, I get a mixture between 
Swedish and French, set in this order below the English settings. Tried with a 
number of English: US, UK, Australia Canada, plain. FYI, Persian was also 
ignored. :-)

In my 'lilypond' script, I have set
  export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
  export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond "$@"

MacOS has natively not the "en_US." prefixes, which cause problems in the 
compile, as some LilyPond components expect that. There might be a similar 
issue here.
