Hi,

I'm currently implementing a new node package having a scoped name according to the new naming conventions. Now I noticed that Node-RED seems to have problems referencing common entries from the message catalog for status messages. I use the form

`"myPackage/myNode:common.example.label"`

for such kind of content (where `myPackage` is the name of the package and `myNode` is the name of the node containing the message catalog entry `common.example.label`) and this works fine for packages without scoped name in all areas (status messages, error messages, editor UI). Now with the scoped names, it still works fine with error messages and in the editor UI but it stopped working for status messages (it shows the text of the reference like above, not the actual translated text from the message catalog).

Any ideas?

Could simply be a bug. Please raise an issue.
