why would the debugger plugin use python code.

The debugger plugin is a UI to run the GDB debugger, which has Python embedded in it as an extension language.

Clearly Geany and therefore the spawned GDB seem to be being run in an ASCII locale (probably the default "C" locale).

Are you starting Geany from the command line or a desktop menu? If menu try from the command line. Many menus do not run a shell, they just fork the program, so if you set the locale in one of your shell startup scripts it will not be set when Geany runs.
