IMHO that is a bug of KDE.
The LC_CTYPE variable, if defined, should have priority over LANG for
the determination of the charset encoding.
XFree86 does that way, as keystrokes were producing utf-8 sequences.

?? if you undefine the LANG variable only that shouldn't change the language
of menus etc, which is defined in the LANGUAGE variable (and, for KDE, trough
the kcontrol program).

You could also set the LANG variable to the same value as others
(eg: LANG=az_AZ.UTF-8)
