Ah, so I see. It's not your problem. Quoting the daily status pages 
generation log:

---------------------------------------------------------

So you got it :)

However, that string has VALID reason to be non-ascii. So patch should 
go into either gnumeric or intltool so that utf8 string is extracted via 
xgettext. gip and gdm2 HEAD has the same problem as gnumeric do.

But this is not all of the problem. Many other packages, like totem and 
acme, also failed during .pot file generation. It's because intltool 
failed to handle the case where GETTEXT_PACKAGE contains underscore. I 
thought it's very well known, so didn't report it. Really nobody knows?  8-O

Anyway, you may want to try applying the attached patch to 
intltool-update, I guess everything would be fine then.
