prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs (try 3)

This time it is the formatting of floating numbers in progress
reporting with a radix charater potentially not being dot.

Followup of 7303e11ff28f920a6277c159aa46f80c007350bb. Regression of
b58e2c7c56b1416a343e81f9f80cb1f02c128e25 in so far as it exchanging
very effected with slightly less effected code.
