You might help us to advertise this: Debian system install all
the documents under /usr/share/doc/ for each package it installed.
There are several directory for gnome-*. You might want to see
the gnome-core directory.
I have not used gnome on my desktop, so... :(

If you take a look at /usr/lib/menu/netscape-zh-resource-475, you will
see that the environment for zh_TW.Big5 is set explicitly in that directory.
And /usr/bin/X11/crxvt also explicitly set you environment to zh_TW.Big5.
As a result, you can see a zh_TW.Big5 both in crxvt and netscape even
if your overall environment is not set to zh_TW.Big5. beside, gdm won't
read your .bash_profile and .bashrc. It should read your .login file though.
You might need to check how gdm set your environment. For xdm, it
read ~/.xsession. You can just set LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES

If the environment is set properly, gnome will find them. One possible
reason is that as you know, the LC_COLLATE is not in the default zh_TW.Big5
locale. If LC_COLLATE is not there, LC_ALL and LANG will not work
properly. gnome might just set your LC_ALL or LANG to zh_TW.Big5 when
you set it up at language chooser. You might want to copy the LC_COLLATE
from GBK's directory /usr/share/locale/zh_CN.GBK/ and see if that
works.

If your environment is all properly set to big5, the one at the taskbar
should also start netscape with big5 menu.
