I'll do that. I was not sure if it's a bug - but it looks like.

This is the problem. The LANG variable is set to "de_DE.UTF-8". Therefor the UI
is german.
But the docs are in english because of the "i18nLibFileSearch: lang = en" above.
LyX 1.6 prints "i18nLibFileSearch: lang = de" in the same environment.
I've checked the preferences already, if I set the UI language this is honored.
That's why I didn't detect this. The default value for language is empty of
course.

I'm afraid it's a complex interaction of gettext and the use of the Messages
class.
