No problem.
Because if LANG is set and LC_MESSAGES isn't set, the value of LANG
will be used as default value of LC_MESSAGES.
(See setlocale(3) man page on Solaris, for example).
So, using LC_MESSAGES preserves backward compatibility.

BTW, SUSv2 (*1) defines NL_CAT_LOCALE flag to use LC_MESSAGES on
catopen(3), but it seems our catopen(3) doesn't look at it...
Is this right thing? (This is questions to Klaus....)
