That sounds like bug T33216, which was fixed a while ago. Does this
actually occur now?
Though I'm not completely sure this is the one in question, for quite
some time there has been a known issue[1] with the way MediaWiki's
message fallback chain is implemented. A patch[2] to fix this was posted
for review, and I left some comments on it almost a year ago. There have
been no updates since.
