Have been in India for a developer event among others for the past week, so I haven't had time to respond. Now on my way to Paris, but praise wifi on high speed trains...

tl;dr: Nothing wrong. See my detailed response below.

Cheers!

MessagesEn_ca has no 1.18 version

Nothing wrong here. No preset locale specific namespace names and locale falls back to 'en'.

MessagesEnRTL in 1.18, name changed to MessagesEn_rtl in 1.19, both contain only "$rtl=true"

This is a locale for testing purposes only.

MessagesFrp 1.18 has NS_USER => 'Utilisator', 1.19 has NS_USER => 'Usanciér', NS_USER_TALK => 'Discussion_utilisator', NS_USER_TALK => 'Discussion_usanciér',

The first reported change was added to $namespaceAliases. The second already was in $namespaceAliases, albeit with different casing. As namespace names are case insensive, they are equal. No issues here.

MessagesIg 1.18 has NS_MEDIA => 'Nká', 1.19 has NS_MEDIA => 'Midia', NS_USER => 'Ọ'bà nifé',NS_USER => 'Ọbanife', NS_USER_TALK => 'Okwu_ọ'bà nifé', NS_USER_TALK => 'Okwu_ọbanife', NS_FILE => 'Ákwúkwó_orünotu',NS_FILE => 'Usòrò', NS_FILE_TALK => 'Okwu_ákwúkwó_orünotu',NS_FILE_TALK => 'Okwu_usòrò', NS_MEDIAWIKI => 'NkáWiki',NS_MEDIAWIKI => 'MidiaWiki', NS_CATEGORY => 'Ébéonọr', NS_CATEGORY => 'Òtù', NS_CATEGORY_TALK => 'Okwu_ébéonọr',NS_CATEGORY_TALK => 'Okwu_òtù',

All pre-existing primary namespace names were added to $namespaceAliases. No issues here.

All pre-existing primary namespace names were added to $namespaceAliases. No issues here.

MessagesMzn has 1.18 < NS_MEDIA => 'مه‌دیا', h1.19 NS_MEDIA => 'مدیا', 1.18 has no NS_MAIN, 1.19 has NS_MAIN => '', NS_MEDIAWIKI => 'مه‌دیاویکی', NS_MEDIAWIKI => 'مدیاویکی', NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK => 'مه‌دیاویکی_گپ', NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK => 'مدیاویکی_گپ', NS_HELP => 'رانه‌ما', NS_HELP => 'رانما', NS_HELP_TALK => 'رانه‌مائه_گپ', NS_HELP_TALK => 'رانما_گپ',

All pre-existing primary namespace names were added to $namespaceAliases. No issues here.

All pre-existing primary namespace names were added to $namespaceAliases. No issues here.

Not really unprintable, but possibly you do not have the required font installed on your computer.

All pre-existing primary namespace names were added to $namespaceAliases. No issues here.

MessagesQug 1.18 has no $namespaceNames array, 1.19 does.

This locale does not have a Wikimedia wiki or a known implementation yet. Namespace names are not used when the language has for example an Incubator project in the Wikimedia Incubator, which has English as content language. No issues here.
