Comment(by marisn):

 I'm not certain that this is solvable at all. The set_language "magic" is
 trying to get most out of language override and gives a warning when it
 doesn't work. Seems that Python simply prefers "fr_FR" over installed
 locales. When writing the "magic", I was testing various ways how it could
 work, but, unfortunately, each of them was failing in some other way.

 The only solution for fr_BE problem would be to translate GRASS to fr_BE,
 as it has been done for pt_BR. Or come up with a cool Python hack to
 replace locale.normalize with an in-home version that prefers installed
 locales.

 As the warning affects only those users requesting language override (this
 is not a "normal" use case), I would say the warning is not a problem.
