what i noticed: if i delete the folder share/locale/de/ the system messages are back to english - but that can't be THE solution, can it? :)
well, it actually was the solution, at least to the weird part of the problem:
there are two versions of win32 binaries available on postgres.org. there's the installer msi version, and there is the installerless zip version.
the installer version does NOT install the folder "share/locale/"! so when using the msi installer, postgres has no translations at all - thus the fallback to english.
the zipped version contains the "share/locale/" folder. for installing 8.3.0, i've been using the msi installer version. for upgrading to 8.3.1, i've been unpacking the files from zip version into the postgresql directory...
i've just verified that the 8.3.1 msi version provided on postgres.org also does NOT contain the "locale" folder & files. should i report this as a separate bug/problem?
so at least that explains the "changed" behaviour. nevertheless, LC_MESSAGES seems to be defunct - with the "locale" folder present, pg always picks the os' language and ignores the lc_message value.
