As Nicolas has pointed out, this is an invalid PO file, as two keys (msgids 
in this case) cannot be same.

However, there is a brand new addition to the PO format (in fact, yet 
unreleased, but usable from Gettext CVS), which I think would be perfect 
in this situation: the context to the message. Then, the tool that 
converts from Mozilla's to PO format should do this:

msgctxt "example1.label"
msgid "string A"
msgstr "translation B"

msgctxt "example2.label"
msgid "string A"
msgstr "translation C"

Now the key is msgctxt+msgid, so no problems there. This extra feature of 
PO format is supported (albeit in a raw way) in new KBabel, comming with 
KDE 3.5. But one should also install the new Gettext (the unreleased 
one :)
