It looks like that due to the Fast User Switching mechanism, in
Panther, CFUserNotifications are displayed by the SystemUIServer
process launched with the current login users id/gid. So the process
was not able to read the Localizable.strings file and used the Key
instead.
Since it is able to read it on 10.1, 10.2 and there is no release
notes for this, I still find fair to state this as a forward
compatibility issue.
In Jaguar, the UNC server ran in loginwindow. In Panther, it runs in a
separate UserNotificationCenter process, which is a launch-on-demand
Mach port server. It is launched as root, but for a variety of reasons
it quickly drops privileges and thereafter runs as the frontmost
console user. This enables it to load input methods and otherwise act
as a normal user application.
