But I do *not* have LC_ALL set to C or POSIX (the problem was with
LC_MESSAGES). So, this will not break such code.
Or perhaps it should be fixed in some other way. For instance, LC_MESSAGES
should have the precedence over LANGUAGE (always, not just with set to POSIX).

Setting LC_ALL is unacceptable as it has the precedence over other LC_*
locales. And LANG is ignored.
