Perhaps you don't issue a correct HTTP header to the browser.

Just add header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8')
at the top of your script.

And try using bind_textdomain_codeset() to specify the output charset, 
which you
want to send the texts as.

Do you mean translated strings continue to appear if the message 
catalogs are removed?
Maybe you have two or more base directory and you are specifying 
another base to bindtextdomain()
which isn't involved with the removed catalogs.
