LANG=C for CJK locale on virtual consoles?

Hi,

Whenever I use a virtual console (tty) I'm annoyed by the
white boxes that appear instead of Japanese text from error
messages or output, before remembering to set LANG=C.

Therefore I would like to propose falling back to LANG=C in
interactive shells for languages with no font on the virtual
console (vt) for FC3.

Does this make sense?  I can't think of anything that would
break off hand, but would appreciate any comments or input
for this.
