Yes, they are different.  Can someone give me a precise method of
reproducing this problem?  I routinely have LANG set to en_AU.ISO8859-1
on my 2.0.5 system.  I've also tried with it set to ru_SU.KOI8-R without
a problem.  I'm using the version of xterm in XFree86 3.1.2.  I don't have
ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE (or any other LANG stuff) enabled in /etc/sysconfig.
