Problems with FacesMessage and French locale

Question

Some messages that I have translated in French are not substituting the {0} with the message. I am definitely passing in a value (in this case "521-009") but it is not being substituted. The locale message is
Le sujet a été soigneusement sélectionné et s'est vu allouer un numéro de sujet de {0}. Un email vous a été transmis confirmant ces informations
Anyone else had this problem or have any ideas why it's happening ?
Cheers,
Brent

Hi Frank,
The message is being displayed within an af:messages component, manually added in by calling "JsfUtils.getInstance().addMessage" however, in trying to debug where the problem was I used the following code
MessageFactory messageFactory = JsfUtils.getInstance().getMessageFactory();
FacesMessage message = messageFactory.getMessage("VISIT1_MSG", null);
String summary = message.getSummary();
MessageFormat formatter = new MessageFormat(summary, JsfUtils.getInstance().getLocale());
Object messageArgs[] = {subjectId};
System.out.println(formatter.format(messageArgs));
And the result of formatter.format(messageArgs) is the same - the {0} is not being substituted (note my browser locale is set to "fr")
