I did the test again, but this time with strace. I did:

wget http://nagini.vm.bytemark.co.uk/~rleigh/gettext-test.c
wget http://nagini.vm.bytemark.co.uk/~rleigh/gutenprint.mo
mkdir -p x/de_GB/LC_MESSAGES/
mv gutenprint.mo x/de_GB/LC_MESSAGES/
<edit gettext-test.c to set the localedir>
gcc -std=c99 -o gettext-test gettext-test.c
strace -s 1024 -o st.out ./gettext-test

Screen output:

setlocale1: (null)
setlocale2: (null)
setlocale3: C
domain: /home/till/gutenprint/cvs/HEAD/x
codset (null)->UTF-8
selected-domain: gutenprint
lookup: Five Color Photo Composite
dlookup: Five Color Photo Composite
till@till-laptop:~/gutenprint/cvs/HEAD$ less st.out

The file st.out is attached. What one can see in the file is that the 
gutenprint.mo is not touched by the program, not even the x/ directory.
