Those erroneous files are corrected on 21/5, however gnome-core 1.4.0.4 is
released on 9/5, so you still see the error. Actually those "errors" are
caused by difference in behavior between older (<= 0.10.35) gettext and
newer gettext. Please check out a copy of stable branch gnome-core from
CVS (gnome-core-1-4), you can extract corrected .po files there.
