Yes, the .mo file is loaded with mmap, cached and kept open as long as the
process runs.

However, you should be able to mark the cache as invalid by doing

  bindtextdomain (DOMAIN, "/");
  bindtextdomain (DOMAIN, LOCALEDIR);

where LOCALEDIR is the base directory for the .mo files used by your package
(usually $PREFIX/share/locale).
