No. It's build systems breaking in odd ways and upstream translations not making it into the language packs and Ubuntu translators making changes that worsen them which then get reported to upstream as upstream translation bugs.

Our goal (which prior to Lucid we had not reached in a KDE4 release (no opinion yet on Lucid)) was to deliver translations not worse than upstream's.  

We had one post RC upload to revert a translation change done in LP and I think another needing an SRU. I don't recall ever having a problem from using KDE translations directly (which we routinely do with PPA uploads)
