Nope. ;-)

The locale is there, so is it wrong?

call setlocale() before initscr() (#86)
See section Initialization in man 3 ncurses.
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/ncurses.3x.html
Locale shall be initialized before ncurses initialization.
The latest one doesn`t seem so change anything regarding screen output.
VA> Do you still run it with LANG=en_US.cp850?
Yes.
VA> In some message I saw en_EN.CP850.
The localdef command, created the directory with lowercase `cp850`
although I specified it with uppercase `CP850`. It also shows it with
lowercase `cp` when locale -a is executed. So I switched to specifying it as
lowercase in my golded start script. But case probably doesn`t matter.
VA> Could you also run:
VA> LANG=en_US.cp850 locale
