Thank you for your kind suggestion.

Actually, I just found the cuplrit. For some reason, in the past I modified
Options -> Text -> Locale in Mintty's settings to it_IT (or C, I tried
both). I do now know how exactly that interacts with LC_ALL set from the
prompt, but that led to the misbehaviour I described.

I have now set Text -> Locale to "Default" and everything works fine, with
either LC_ALL="", LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 or LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8.
