Comment:
`gettext` does not like when one tries to translate the empty string, as
it has a special meaning in the PO file format. See #23196 for another
case where we had to workaround a similar issue.
In this case, the header duplication is produced by `msgmerge` itself. I'm
of the opinion that we should consider translating an empty string as an
unsupported functionality of the underlying `gettext` library.
