Kibavuidi Nsiangani shouldn't these locales be in Latin script?
Kikongo is primarily written in Latin script as in
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/plain/po/kg.po for example.

I doubt a locale with a font specific encoding for Mandombe script will be
included.

Well, Kikongo is not written anymor at all as of today, I mean by that:
there is no software or OS in Kikongo as of today.
The link you posted was my work. I first thought it better to write
translations using the latin script but have since reencoded the translations
to work with Mandombe script.
Mainly because the most of the people (I'm talking about schools and
universities) willing to make use of an operating system in Kikongo are willing
to learn Mandombe to do so.
Actually, latin script is not always seen as the "absolute best choice" by
everyone and is, one of the main reasons there is so little written
exchange/publications in Kikongo today.
Even the work to create diacritic marks and special glyphs for Kikongo didn't
have that much success and isn't that good either:
it would mean 1 font+keyboard+charset per language (lingala, tshiluba, kikongo,
swahili etc), whereas Mandombe supports all of them, included western and asian
languages with no adaptation.
Seems much more useful to add support for Mandombe.
Last but not least, the mandombe encoding also supports using the latin
characters so I don't see where there might be a problem here.

What is the conclusion here?

If the attached files are what is wanted there is more unification to do.  The
actual data should be in one file and the others, if possible, should use copy.
