After talking to Danilo, I understand that this is a data migration
issue rather than a bug.

He's provided me some data about the projects affected (~50) and a
workaround to mark the empty messages as shared (by exporting Ubuntu
translations and uploading them in the upstream project), so I'm happy
with lowering the importance of the bug.
