Oops, an oversight by me occurred and I'd say that's a 'msgcat' bug.
While counting records 'msgcat' silently ignores untranslated -- thus
some of my strategies to deal with compendia, proofreading jobs and some
statistical issues are broken; e.g., it isn't possible to remove all
translations given .po file ('msghack' offered --empty to empty the
contents of a po .file).
'msgcat' must use the first occurrence of a record even if empty or
untranslated, probably even if fuzzy or obsolete, too; users interested
in certain flavors only should use 'msgattrib' first to select a subset.
Thus, for now please keep 'msgcomm'. Here are three tests, only the
first one succeeds at the moment.
msgcomm-24
