/etc/sysconfig/i18n sets up the environment for users who log in to your 
system.  The environment in which your mythbackend program is running is 
not set.  This is why you get a warning in mythbackend but not in 
mythfrontend.  You need to set the LANG and/or LC_ALL in the script that 
starts mythbackend.
