You're showing us three different spellings of the locale name above.
Are you really sure they're all equivalent?

Beyond that, you probably need to find a locale guru.  I see no reason
to think there is anything wrong with the Postgres code for this, and
every reason to think there's something wrong with your locale
definition.  But I don't know enough about custom locales to help you
identify exactly what.
