This is pretty strange. When running MessagesTest, all strings are 
expanded correctly. However, this is not the case in-game. It seems that 
the plural rules for my locale (possibly all locales) are not properly 
set up. I need to investigate further.

At any rate, we should not replace Unit.getFullLabel() without checking 
the string templates used, since they might include the player nation.
