This is a known issue caused by a combination of the way OpenERP loads
translations and the way translations strings and comments are shared
between series on Launchpad.
See bug 933496 and specifically comment 4 for an explanation:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/933496/comments/4

If this problem occurs again with a high frequency we should make sure the
following MP is verified to be working safely and apply it - all feedback
welcome:
- original MP for 6.1:
https://code.launchpad.net/~openerp-dev/openobject-server/6.1-fix-po-targets-933496-vmt/+merge/130143
- 7.0 port by Lionel:

If so, we'll have to stop merging translations

There is no need to stop the translation sync nor to fix the actual PO
files, the patch for bug 933496 should be sufficient.
