The above is expected, if codepage 1252 is your system codepage.
Here's what I get, FWIW:

  scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (ice-9 i18n))
  scheme@(guile-user)> (locale-encoding)
  $1 = "CP1252"
  scheme@(guile-user)> (setlocale LC_ALL "French_France.1250")
  $2 = "French_France.1250"
  scheme@(guile-user)> (locale-encoding)
  $3 = "CP1250"
  scheme@(guile-user)> (setlocale LC_ALL "")
  $4 = "English_United States.1252"
  scheme@(guile-user)> (locale-encoding)
  $5 = "CP1252"
  scheme@(guile-user)> (setlocale LC_ALL "C")
  $6 = "C"
  scheme@(guile-user)> (locale-encoding)
  $7 = "CP1255"

My system locale is 1255, as you might have guessed.
