gpg2 display charset detection broken?

using gnupg2-2.0.9, Cliff's notes version:
Unless charset is specified in config file or with --display-charset
argument, gpg2 output incorrect (and different from the gpg output) for
utf-8 encoded strings.

See downstream bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471559

The reason seems to be that gpg.c calls init_common_subsystems()
before initializing the locale via i18n_init() or a setlocale()
call. Therefore detects as ANSI_X3.4-1968 (i.e us-ascii) and uses
iso-8859-1 as fallback.

This should be fixed in 2.0.10:

2008-12-09 Werner Koch <wk [at] g10code>

* gpg.c (main): Call i18n_init before init_common_subsystems.

Same also fixed for the other tools.

Salam-Shalom,

Werner

Dang, sorry, my casual perusal of the 2.0.10 changelog was clearly
insufficient.
