I got the following warnings logging into my Bluehost web server from Zurich:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = (unset),
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",
	LANG = "en_US.utf-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

To disable them I just commented out the following line to look like:

SendEnv LANG LC_*

in the /private/etc/ssh_config file on my client-side mac. source
