After two days of tweaking, I found out that the

Why is this off by default?
I asked about this on the #mediawiki irc channel and Tim explained
why it is off by default and how to turn it on and why one should
only have it on if memcached is running
(

I've investigated a bit more and found out that if you turn this option
on, then it uses the MediaWiki namespace for all messages all over the
user interface. That, of course, should be off by default because it is
very database-intensive without memcached.
Honestly, that option should be entirely separate from the {{msg:}} and
{{subst:}} functionality. Combining them into one seems rather silly.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to try and understand the code
enough to do this myself :( Anyone wanna do this? I want to use the
Language.php file to customise the messages, but I still want to be able
to use the MediaWiki namespace for {{msg:}} and {{subst:}}.
