That is true. However it appears to be used in a beneficial way on the Chinese
Wikipedia. Because of the inconvenient fallback sequence in
MessageCache::get(), you have to create MediaWiki namespace pages in all 9
variants in order for Messages*.php to be successfully overridden. It's easier
to copy and paste the same text to 9 pages, relying on the converter to work
its magic, than to convert them manually.
