It does? Isn't buf.data already "gettextified"? write_stderr just calls
vfprintf. Or is this an example of me not knowing how gettext works?

We're not assuming that!
If the system is configured to log to eventlog, this code is never
called.
If the system is configured to log to a file (redirect_stderr), this
code is never called.

It is *only* called when:
- System has not read it's full configuration yet (which is the case we
are trying to address)
- System is configured for logging to stderr *without* capturing it to a
file *and* running as a service. I'd argue this is a configuration
error.

Could you explain further what the issue is there?

There is special code in the send_message_to_server_log function to make
sure it's written directly to the file.
