Hmm, interestingly you lost the diacritics here. The output is mangled
for Saturday and Wednesday, which should read "Sábado" and "Miércoles"
respectively.
It is not good that the system allows you to output invalidly encoded
data. What happens if you try setting lc_messages to
Spanish_Spain.65001 instead?
Ideally, it should be an error to set lc_messages to a value that's not
compatible with the current encoding. Do we do that currently elsewhere?
(Perhaps this is not a problem with your patch, but rather a problem
that's worth fixing separately.)
