It does appear to work due to code in base.bbclass which does:

    use_nls = bb.data.getVar('USE_NLS_%s' % pn, d, 1)
    if use_nls != None:
        bb.data.setVar('USE_NLS', use_nls, d)

where this code predates the use of pn-${PN} in overrides.

Nowadays it makes sense just to use the pn- override and we should drop
this legacy stuff IMO.

Cheers,
