I doubt that documenting the issue will be enough (in fact I'm pretty
sure it won't). Maybe we can just supply the string translated in our
POT files, and add a comment that the translator is not supposed to
touch it. This doesn't seem all that difficult -- I think it just
requires that we add a msgmerge step to "make update-po" that uses a
file on which the message has already been translated.
