I should have asked you which version of libintl is being used.  I went
ahead and jumped to 0.26 and they now gate like this:

      /* If the current locale value is "C" or "C.<encoding>" or "POSIX",
	 we don't load a domain.  Return the MSGID.  */
      if ((single_locale[0] == 'C'
	   && (single_locale[1] == '\0' || single_locale[1] == '.'))
	  || strcmp (single_locale, "POSIX") == 0)
	break;
