This looks like a rosetta bug to me. The content of that msgset is
completely valid, I think, so it's probably Rosetta's parser.

Do these exist when exporting a file from Rosetta, or when xml2po
generates the po? If the former, it's Rosetta's fault as it's generating
invalid files. Likewise, if it's xml2po.

Carlos will be able to give more accurate info, at least on #1.

Thanks for the notice!
