OK, logically it makes sense but I haven't solved the problem yet...

My problem seems to be when I run layman it still sees LC_ALL but I
don't see where it's being set.

Could part of the problem be that I don't have a plain en_US entry in
/etc/locale.gen? Or is everything after the period a subgroup?

Is there possibly a global .bashrc file somewhere that root picks up
which is setting LC_ALL. There isn't one in root's home directory. Or
maybe I have to re-emerge layman or something?

Hopefully I have the settings the way you suggested.

lightning ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE=C
lightning ~ # locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
