"Do we need to say this isn't used for message strings, only for parsing
the .po file?"
The .po file format has a mechanism for specifying the codeset of the
PO file. See line 1009. Therefore LC_CTYPE is *not used* for the
interpretation of the input .po file, only for producing diagnostics
(in combination with the LC_MESSAGES category).
