Ah, I think I got it now.
There are several processes: 

d) Building Thuban - development
		input: SVN checkout

s) Doing binary snapshots.
          input: SVN and build instructions


r) releasing Thuban / sourcetarball 
         see Doc/technotes/release_process.txt
         Result: A source tarball  (contains .mo files)

p) packaging Thuban
	     input for official versions: Tarball from r)
		result: build instructions (from manual to fully automated, 
  			aka an RPM spec file or Debian rules) for a target platform

b) creating a Thuban binary package for a target platform
		input: specific build instructions
   		result specific binary package

Of course, d) is a bit special. For 1.2.0 we are now executing the 
other processes. Creating the .mo files is part of r) and currently done 
manually as explained in Doc/technotes/release_process.txt.
This also means you should do p) for windows based r) as well.
Did you package from the tarball or zipfile?

So when doing a binary snapshot, 
you have to build the .mo files manually yourself.
