My apologies on this late reply. The way LC_MESSAGES is handled on windows is much less efficient and faulty. While ago I started with a patch to fix some of the issues I encountered on windows and LC_MESSAGES. But I stopped working on that patch because this problem needed to be fixed on many other places. In Windows, handling LC_MESSAGES will not work the same way as *nix systems, forcing us to make ugly workarounds. (as I actually was doing with my patch)
To my opinion, unless we think of a coherent solution for handling LC_MESSAGES/locale for both *nix and win32 platforms, fixing lc_messages and locale issues would break more than fixing it. BTW: The gettext library we are using on win32 is a very old one.
