It also makes the the text for the special page visible again, instead of "<oversight<" or something similar.
I know it's a trade off, but the general consensus is that messages are better than message IDs in UIs. ;)

Fixed bug for loading internationalization messages
I don't know exactly what's being fixed here, but the entire point of all those separate wfLoadExtensionMessages() call was not to load messages unless it's really necessary (this has been done to a lot of extensions lately). Your fix undoes this optimization.
