You pointed me to an option of po4a-updatepo, and I don't use it
directly, but via main po4a executable. I've solved the problem with 
your help, thanks :-)

OK, that's clear to me.

A I see, non-sophisticated translator can omit the '=====' and '----'
lines and leave only translated header itself, and at the output we'll
get broken structure. Then, it can be workarounded by some kind of
Translator's HOWTO, but people are people, and it would better if this
case processes automatically.
