I have the feeling that Jean-Michel is speaking of such constructs:
msgid ""
msgstr ""

It naturally breaks msgcat and other tools since msgid=3D"" denotes the file
header. It must be uniq, as any other msgid.=20

This is different from your example because you have msgid "", but have more
content on the next line...

Thanks, Mt.
