I was wrong, it does not. The above happens when msgfmt isn't found on
the system. IMO, the macro AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT from GLib we use in
configure.in to initialize all gettext support should explicitly check
for msgfmt and fail if it is missing. But it doesn't so I opened a bug
report against GLib.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488235

As a workaround, I will add a configure check especially for msgfmt.
