I suspect I see a similar problem with translation sharing between series, and the behavior seems to match Jeroen's description.
The Japanese translations for OpenERP Addons have been updated in the trunk series in the past few days, and are properly shared with the 6.1 series. You can see the changed dates of some terms are 20 june in the UI for the 6.1 series [1].
However if you look at the last update date of the PO file itself [2], it's still 12 june, and indeed the last export for the 6.1 series was on june 13 [3]. The PO files are exported correctly in the trunk series however [4].

This is quite a problem, because our workaround would be to "touch" the
templates in the 6.1 series every time they are changed in the trunk
series, in order to force an export.... possibly requiring hundreds of
manual operations every day. Good luck explaining this to the
translation teams ...

An offline process to detect this and patch the POFile.date_changed in the database directly would be great.
Is there any chance we can do it ourselves using launchpadlib? It does not seem to expose the actual PO database, only the import queue and translation groups.

Note: the dates I quoted may not be accurate for long as we will have to
manually "touch" the templates in order to trigger the missing exports.

Title:
  Automatic translation exports fail to commit latest translations

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New

Bug description:
  It's been brought up in the translations list that translations for
  ubuntu-docs are outdated, even though they were fetched from the daily
  automatic translations export branch.

  Looking at Launchpad for French I can see that:

  - The number of untranslated strings at the _upstream project_ [1] is 337, of a total of 2732 translatable strings
  - The numbers match exactly for the _Ubuntu source package_ [2]
  - When looking at the PO files in the exports branch [3], however, there are 555 untranslated strings (total stays the same)

  E.g.

  $ bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs/precise-translations
  $ cd precise-translations/ubuntu-help
  $ head -n 15 fr.po

  "Language-Team: French <fr@xxxxxx>\n"
  "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
  "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"

  This means the last change in the PO file seems to have been on
  2012-04-08

  Which seems to coincide with the latest commit one day later

  $ bzr log fr.po
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  revno: 12
  committer: Launchpad Translations on behalf of ubuntu-core-doc
  branch nick: ubuntu-docs
  timestamp: Mon 2012-04-09 05:11:39 +0000
  message:
    Launchpad automatic translations update.
  ------------------------------------------------------------

  However, the exports seem to have stuck to that date, and subsequent
  new translations in Launchpad have not been committed. The number of
  untranslated strings in the PO file on the branch is 280 more than the
  untranslated count in the web UI:

  $ msgfmt -v -o /dev/null fr.po
  2177 translated messages, 555 untranslated messages.

  So it seems that:

  - Translations sharing in the Lp database is working fine for upstream and downstream
  - Up-to-date upstream translations seem to fail getting committed on the exports branch

  Could it be that translations after the latest commit date have been
  made by uploading a PO file instead of using the web UI, and thus
  changes in translations have not been detected (and not committed)?
