The problem in Bug 42264 seems to be related to the fact that gettext has problems identifying C printf strings as such when C99 specifiers like PRIuMAX are present, and requires a "#, c-format" hint in these cases. Note that running msgunfmt on a MO, followed by msgfmt on the intermediate PO, does not yield the original MO any more, if specifiers like PRIuMAX were present *and* the original MO was created using a c-format hint. In my interpretation, this is a bug in the msgfmt/msgunfmt tools, therefore raising the priority by one step to "Needs info".
