English, French and a lot of other languages also put full stops at the 
end of well-formed sentences. However there are places where a full stop 
is not wanted: in tooltips, group labels and possibly when they are 
included in another string for instance. So I think that Japanese is no 
different from these other languages in this respect and thus should 
match the English strings wrt full stops.

That said it's possible the English error messages are wrong which seems 
to be what you're getting at below:

How did you test that? Did you hack a conformance test to dump the 
output of FormatMessage (or som equivalent) for a bunch of error codes?
I'd like to check what Windows prints for the English messages.
