That was my first thought, too. But it *does* appear to work. With this patch, I can change lc_messages from environment-before-startup, from postgresql.conf or using "set lc_messages='foo'". The only main thing I see as being wrong is that it cannot check if the specified messages were incorrect. If I literally set it to "foo", I get english without getting any error/warning. Clearly they don't just serve as defaults on win32. That's the only conclusion I can draw from the fact that this works, and from the questions in the FAQ referenced.
