Ache is wrong.  See XSH page 1442 line 44650:

# In other than the C or POSIX locales, other implementation-defined
# subject sequences may be accepted.

The same dispensation is provided for strtol() on page 1449 and for
strtoul() on page 1454.

However, I was mistaken in that this does not represent a requirement
on our part.
