That seems to be correct. In a cp1250 locale, it works as expected:

#v+
~ % locale
LANG=de_DE.cp1250
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_TIME="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_NAME="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.cp1250"
LC_ALL=de_DE.cp1250
~ % tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' < /tmp/enctest
ABCČŠŽ

Args, Info files...

Not sure, what the problem for Vim is however.
