I would think that the immediate solution is to have a second locale
which is not distributed but solely for module making. For modules with
this "abnormality". Once the correct OSISrefs are created there is no
problem anymore with the module as such. 

The remaining problem would solely be with people putting in references
in, expecting different results (unlikely as modern French use seems to
be what Cyrille suggests).

With the temporarily amended locale this would be no problem. As the
locale is only used once, this is an easy fix.
