Once again: how _exactly_ did you do the merge?

I think you misunderstand the way gettext works -- if a string is not 
present in .pot file, it means it's not used by the program you're 
translating at all and so it *makes absolutely no sense* to include 
obsolete strings in the .mo file, they would never be used for 
anything.

But if you insist, you can easily uncomment them using any half-decent 
text editor.
