Well, I think it's wrong since... 3 or 4 years ago. Good spot! At this
point however should we fix this?

It should also documented correctly in
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/locales.htm

About locales.conf, freetds.conf, client charset, etc. I think there is
a lot of confusion... For instance is not true that client charset (only
in freetds.conf) is use only with TDS 7+. If charset is not given
FreeTDS try to match charset for Sybase using client charset.
