Using dapptrace on macOS gives this result (after removing dyld calls):

Using breakpoints, all functions are called.

It’s worth noting that the same code works correctly on Linux. As such, I think the problem must be in gettext compiled for macOS.

Is this a bug?

There are several possible causes. A recipe for determining the actual cause
in your case is found in the GNU gettext FAQ at
