It seems to me as expected behavior.

ish> % ls
ish> a  A  b  B  c  C  d  D  e  E
ish> % setenv LANG ja_JP.UTF-8
ish> % ls [b-d]
ish> b  B  c  C  d                           <=== It's not good.
ish> % env LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 ls [b-d]
ish> b       B       c       C       d	<=== It's not good.
ish> % env LANG=C ls [b-d]
ish> B       C       b       c       d	<=== It's not good.

Since the expansion of '[]' is done by the shell (tcsh) itself,
setting LANG by env(1) doesn't have an influence on the expansion.

It's because the recent FreeBSD supports collation.
If you don't like the behavior, you may want to set LC_COLLATE to C.

% echo $LANG
ja_JP.UTF-8
% ls
a A b B c C d D e E
% env LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 tcsh -c "ls [b-d]"
b	B	c	C	d
% env LANG=C tcsh -c "ls [b-d]"
b	c	d
% env LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C tcsh -c "ls [b-d]"
b	c	d

Sincerely,
