Yes, this is expected when connecting from a mosh wrapper that tries to do 
locale-passing (-l) to a server that doesn't support locale-passing.

I think this is generally how we're going to support adding new 
server-side features in a backwards-compatible way: the client will use a 
command-line option that might not exist.

Unfortunately we discovered that the current Debian release candidate 
doesn't build on armel (https://github.com/keithw/mosh/issues/238), so 
pondering a solution to that one...

Thanks again,
Keith
