After filing bug #868571, I played a little with this, and turns out I was wrong in comment #8 of bug 514401: the translations that used to be not loaded are loaded. Probably I forgot to discard former checkbox results, or I made something trivially stupid.

This was the good news, the bad news is this: one line long strings that are part of the test with the fixed multi-paragraph text, and used to be loaded, are not loaded anymore. For example, from jobs/usb.txt.in:

_description:
 USB HDD verification procedure:
 1.- Plug a USB HDD or thumbdrive into the computer
 2.- An icon should appear on the desktop and in the "Places" menu at the top of the screen.
 3.- Click Test to begin
 .
 If the test is successful, you should see the Yes radio button marked.

The first translatable part (before the single dot) was extracted without the line breaks, and its l10n didn't work, while the l10n of the one line text worked. After building checkbox with the fix in bug #868571, the situation is turned around, the long text is localized and the short one is not, see the screenshots.
