The problem has nothing to do with $wgMessageCache. The only error he'd get
there (presumably) is message keys showing up like <my-pref-toggle>.
The real failure is because preferences were rewritten entirely in 1.16.x and I
don't believe back-compat was maintained for the old hooks.
Take a look at the GetPreferences hook[0] for more info.
