Summary messages of special pages are always shown in content language.

If Wikimedia Commons want the user language shown, the $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg setting for wikimedia commons must be set. Than this task is a Site Request.

After short test with Steinsplitter, the patch unfortunately still doesn't work.

It seems I misread your first post, wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg is for the opposite use: When a usally content message is part of the array, it would always shown as user message.
There seems no way to load a message always as content language (or says fallback to the mediawiki page as content language - see T57473 or T3495).

I think this is the same issue as T50956: Can't override optional message in all languages with local customisation.

The revert patch should be deployed at some point. I'll schedule it the next time I have something to deploy.
