I18n messages files with multiple custom nodes

General
1

I have a single custom module, node-red-contrib-sbi, that contains multiple custom nodes. I've organized node files under subdirectories to keep the project manageable. So my package.json looks like:

  "node-red": {
    "nodes": {
      "start": "flow-control/start.js",
      "data-collector-inline": "io/data-collector-inline.js",
      "basic-data-collector": "io/basic-data-collector.js",
      "data-preview": "data-preview.js",
      "end-node": "flow-control/end-node.js",
    }

I'm have difficulty injecting custom messages though. For example, I've put start.json in both node-red-contrib-sbi/locales/en-US and node-red-contrib-sbi/flow-control/locales/en-US (which is what the docs say to do), but in neither case do they seem to be available. I added a console.log statement to i18n.registerMessageCatalog to see what it's trying to load, and it is only trying to load data-preview.json, which is one of my nodes (notably the only one in the root), but does not even have a translation file.

Where should I be placing the files? Are the multiple sub-directories causing a problem?

The docs illustrate the javascript file being in a subdirectory, so it doesn't seem like it should be a problem.

Output from console debug I added:

Also, even if I DO put a node-red-contrib-sbi\locales\en-US\data-preview.json in place, my message still don't resolve when reference via that namespace: RED._("node-red-contrib-sbi/data-preview:start.invoked",{id:req.params.id}) just resolves to start.invoked
