It would be nice if we made an effort to not make issues a scavenger hunt.

Well I'm copying some sentences here:
Due to bug 37338 translation of zh-* sub-variants are blocked. However this is
needed as zh banners are not displayed for zh-* users.
Two ways to fix this:
0) Revert 37338 or modify it to unblock zh-hans and zh-hant
e.g.
- Allow CNBanners to ignore the blacklist or have a separate set
- Language conversion for CNBanners (ideal solution)
Currently change in bug 37338 pretty much breaks the translation workflow as
the only way around it is for a translator to ask an administrator to edit the
MediaWiki message.
Approach 2 is chosen now.

verify that it is truly working as expected.
But unluckily there's no banner live to allow me to verify it.

We seem to have two banners up right now in this campaign: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CentralNotice&method=listNoticeDetail¬ice=C13_wpnd_zhCN_FR
You can force a banner as well by doing something like:
