I see that the txi-pt.tex file is being read, and as you say below, it
is your updated version of that file which is being input.

I would check what is inside falar-com-valor.aux.  That should have the
updated translations.  You could try running:

texi2any --Xopt -t --Xopt @bsixpaper --Xopt --tidy --pdf falar-com-valor.texi

(note the change from --clean to --tidy).

You could then check the file

falar-com-valor.t2d/pdf/build/falar-com-valor.aux.

(or file with similar name in case I got the directories wrong).

If that doesn't give any clues, I would then try running pdftex directly:

$ pdflatex falar-com-valor.texi

This will create a few auxiliary files in the current directory: again,
you want to check falar-com-valor.aux for the updated translations.
