There is "messages" context variable in Seam which refers to messages.properties file by default. So you don't have to use <f:loadBundle> or special settings in faces-config.xml to use resource bundles in Seam application. But it should work if you double it via <f:loadBundle>. Our Visial Editor dosn't support this Seam component yet. Please report it to JIRA as Feature Request if there is not such issue yet...
