You observed a crash. Any crash is a bug. "msginit --help" tells you where to
write it.

Thanks for the report. This is fixed in gettext 0.14.1 or newer.

As a workaround, you can also add a header entry to example5.pot. It looks 
like this:

   # Header entry
   msgid ""
   msgstr ""

Note also that your example5.pot looks more like an English no-op translation
than like a POT file: A POT file usually has empty msgstr fields.
