Were you not using static analysis tools? All of the popular ones will warn about that issue with locales.

They do. But a generic warning about locale-dependence doesn't really tell you that ASCII-strings will be broken. For nearly every purpose ASCII is the same in every locale. If you have a string that is guaranteed to be ASCII (like an enum constant is in most code styles), it's easy to think "not a problem here" and move on.
