Right, I forgot that it can already be turned off in settings :)

The perculiarity with catalog manager is that if it gets more robust than 
msgfmt, that is a disadvantage rather than an advantage. It is surely an 
advantage for the editor, because editor will save it without critical 
errors, but catalog manager shouldn't swallow a file that msgfmt wouldn't. 
Or vice versa.

The point being, catalog manager should at least tell us how the msgfmt 
will react to a file. Anything further I would consider an extra feature 
(like a robust code doing its best to read a file, for the sake of 
overview, with an extra note of whether msgfmt likes it or not).

I'd say that those who get to putting catalog manager into operation, won't 
wince for one source installation with no dependencies.

In fact, given that thingy of shutting down msgfmt in settings, my proposal 
boils down to a very managable one: let's do nothing :)

Ok, I wouldn't use menacing words...
