I have tested this and, unfortunately, now this transliteration
works *only* in C locale, that is, only when no locale is set or when
it is explicitly set to C (C.UTF8, POSIX).  It does not work when locale
is set to anything different, including en_US, ru_RU, etc.

I'm sorry for confusing you.  I think that either we should revert back
to the older versions of your patch to make all locales supported or
merge those two versions to make the transliteration work both in
C and in all (almost all) other locales.  Unfortunately, C locale is
not a base for all other locales and is not included, it is only a fallback
when a locale does not provide its own data (that is, when it does not
provide any transliteration table at all).
