Newer versions of xforms seem to set the locale to the one set in the
environment variables (caught me also unaware when that happened,
suddenly lots of things stopped working...). You may have to tell it
which one to use instead after the fl_initialize() call. I usually set
it with

setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" );

directly after the flinitialize() call.
