The locale settings in my .login_conf are ignored:

; cat .login_conf
# $FreeBSD: src/share/skel/dot.login_conf,v 1.3 2001/06/10 17:08:53
# ache Exp $
#
# see login.conf(5)
#
me:\
        :charset=UTF-8:\
        :lang=en_US.UTF-8:

; env | egrep -i 'lang|charset'
LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1
MM_CHARSET=iso-8859-1
; ls -l .login_conf
-rw-r--r--  1 chris  chris  146 May 15 08:26 .login_conf
; uname -r
6.2-STABLE

My .login_conf file is not a symlink or world writable etc. Also, an
identical .login_conf for another user is applied without problems.
What am I missing?
