Sort behaves differently: cron vs. user shell

I recently made an entry in Bugzilla (# 204562) for the following problem:
/bin/sort uses the LC_ALL environment variable to determine how to sort. There
seems to be a discrepancy between how this variable is set in a user shell and
cron's environment.
The bottom line is that this causes scripts to behave differently when
run in a user shell vs. cron.
My bug was closed as "isn't definitely problem of cron."
I do think this is a bug. A script that uses sort should execute the
same when run by a user or on behalf of a user by cron. What component
should this be be filed under?
