LC_COLLATE vs. egrep -- bug or (non-)feature?


Is this a feature, or a bug associated with the current ongoing
discussion about locales:

 > LC_ALL= egrep '^[a-b]l[dl]e.n$' /usr/share/dict/words
aldern
> LC_COLLATE= egrep '^[a-b]l[dl]e.n$' /usr/share/dict/words
aldern
Alleen
Alleyn

If it's a feature, how do I set LC_COLLATE w/o changing the other
aspects of my locale?

Relevant bits of cygcheck -s:
