Well, IMHO that is wrong.

The .pot file should contain all the messages without any translation,
it is the master file. And the .po files are the translations, one per
language. The .pot file is maintained by the programmers, the .po are
maintained by the translators.

Anyway, msgmerge can handle that situation, too.
