Translators are currently not working on the strings for 2.41.2,
because I haven't announced the POT file yet.  So it is fine to
still make changes also to the branch.

Not OK.  As said: I don't want to offer a faulty string.  Please
apply the patch also to the 2.41 stable branch, so that I can
announce a  better POT file (I will edit it in place -- no need
for another rc release).

That sounds fine.

Ideally I should catch the faulty strings before you make the rc2.
