Hi David,
This is a bit tricky. locale_path will be null for a few locales.
en_US, C and en_US.utf8 and so on. This is because we always fall back
to C for those translations. So textdomain will not be called for those
as well.
Do you see any problem if we call textdomain(PACKAGE) always after
changing the locale?
