First point:

That is because you are using Gettext.Library. Library doesn't init
anything, it waits for an implementation. You should use
Gettext.Program.

I replace your uigtk2Gettext, with this content:

(* Create the module Gettext, using the textdomain "mydomain" *)
module Gettext = 
  Gettext.Program
  (struct
    let textdomain   = "unison"
    let codeset      = Some "UTF-8"
    let dir          = None
    let dependencies = Gettext.init
  end)
  (GettextCamomile.Hashtbl)
;;

It can also be triggered when the string is translated before the call
to Gettext.init.

Second point:

Could you be more precise, I am not sure to understand.

Other question:

Why using unison 2.32.52? Why not using a svn checkout of the latest
version?
