Unable to change ADF standard text for af_table ("Fetching data...")

Question

I wish to change the standard "Fetching data..." text displayed by ADF when scrolling through a table.
Looking at the description in http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/skin-selectors.html, I expect to achieve this by overriding "af_table.LABEL_FETCHING" in my skinning resource bundle.
I am able to override two af_column messages, but my af_table override does NOT work.
My bundle looks like this;
package com.vesterli.demo.skinning;
import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
public class MySkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
@Override
public Object[][] getContents() {
return _CONTENTS;
private static final Object[][] _CONTENTS =
{ { "af_table.LABEL_FETCHING", "Hang loose, dude" },
{ "af_column.TIP_SORT_ASCENDING", "First things first" },
{ "af_column.TIP_SORT_DESCENDING", "The last shall be the first" } };
My trinidad-skins.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin">
<skin>
<id>vesterli.desktop</id>
<family>vesterli</family>
<render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
<extends>fusion.desktop</extends>
<style-sheet-name>css/MySkin.css</style-sheet-name>
<bundle-name>com.vesterli.demo.skinning.MySkinBundle</bundle-name>
</skin>
</skins>
Since I am seeing my customized column tip texts correctly, the reference from trinidad-config.xml to my skin should be OK (I am also seeing my visual skinning correctly). Since I am seeing some of my texts, my resource bundle must be valid, too. I am using JDev 11.1.1.3.
So why doesn't the af_table skinning work?
Any pointers appreciated.
Best regards

I was having this problem too, found this thread and did cleanup here and there, redo etc. But ended up with no luck to fix it.
Just now discovered the issue is reproducible on the official demo site: table Skinning Key Demo
1. check the column sorting labels, prefixed with "Demo: "
2. change any selector setting to trigger a table refresh, it's always displayed as "Fetching Data...", without prefix.(as highlighted in the "Resource styles" on the same page, there should be prefix too).
