So after some investigation, I've found out that this is related to
upstream sharing.

- For evolution, the issue is that upstream uses a versioned template
name (e.g. evolution-3.6.pot), whereas in Ubuntu, to benefit from
message sharing across distro releases, we use an unversioned template
name (i.e. evolution). This means that upstream sharing will not work
for Evolution, as the two templates (upstream/downstream) need to have
the same name. I've disabled upstream sharing for Evolution for now, so
that translations are imported from packages as they used to do.

- For Orca, the upstream template name was ac-package-name, which points
to a bug in upstream sharing. I've now corrected it manually to orca,
which means upstream translations should now be imported, but we'll see
if the name stays when the next byr import happens.

- For GTK+, the issue was that the template names (upstream/downstream)
didn't match. I've now edited the upstream template name to match the
Ubuntu one, so that sharing happens.

- For evolution-data-server, the problem was that the upstream bzr
import was still set to SVN. I've corrected it to be for git, but we're
having the same issue as Evolution with versioned template names.

Title:
  Some translation templates are not in sync with upstream

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  French for instance is fully translated upstream and has 500+ strings remaining in Ubuntu
  http://l10n.gnome.org/vertimus/evolution/gnome-3-6/po/fr

  Wondering whether it might affect other GNOME packages and even other kind of packages.
  Despite our best effort to educate about duplication and upstream contribution, people are redoing the work on LP, so a proper and frequent sync is essential (now and for the next cycle)
