That is true for all the messages, and is something the l10n people
need to be aware of.

We've seen those who are careful to keep '%s' for longer strings
(e.g. end-user controlled ones strings) at the end for this exact
reason. I do not offhand recall if there were cases where we
committed one version that had %s in the middle and then fixed
later to change that message in a separate commit, but there were
cases where earlier messages with %s in the middle were fixed for
this exact reason in their rerolls.
