Don't worry about this.  This is a problem with the test, not with
XEmacs (it's not clear what XEmacs should do here, and until it is, we
don't know which to fix).

Coding systems are not locales, and vice versa.  Don't mess with this
unless you're willing to put in a *lot* of study.  The Emacs modules
dealing with coding systems are baroque to say the least.

If you want to play with the failures in the syntax tests, that would
be greatly appreciated.
