I'm not super familiar with the semantics of these variables, but the solve

To verify -- the logic should be that if LC_MESSAGES is defined then it
should override LANG, is that correct?
Yes. See locale(7):
(1) If there is a non-null environment variable LC_ALL, the value of
LC_ALL is used.
(2) If an environment variable with the same name as one of the cate‐
gories above exists and is non-null, its value is used for that cate‐
gory.
(3) If there is a non-null environment variable LANG, the value of LANG
is used.
In other words: LC_ALL overrides everything. LC_something overrides
LANG. LANG is the default, in absence of LC_*
