With empty LANG you're using the default UTF-8 encoding, where that 0xe5 byte constitutes an incomplete character. You need to either run with a LANG setting that fits your script, e.g. C.ISO-8859-1, or convert your script to UTF-8. I'm puzzled as to why LANG=ASCII would have worked, since that's not a valid setting.
