[bug-gettext] msgmerge confuses unrelated entries

Hi,

Given the attached messages.pot and messages.po, when calling:

    msgmerge --previous --update messages.po messages.pot

it produces the attached messages.po.updated file. A diff between messages.po 
and messages.po.update shows:

-#: journalist.py:237 journalist.py:453
-msgid "Two-factor token failed to verify"
-msgstr "Échec de vérification du jeton de la validation en deux étapes"
+#: journalist.py:237 journalist.py:455
+#, fuzzy
+#| msgid "Reset Two-Factor Authentication"
+msgid "Could not verify token in two-factor authentication."
+msgstr "Réinitialiser la validation en deux étapes"

which incorrectly associates "Reset Two-Factor Authentication" as the previous 
version of the "Could not verify token in two-factor authentication." string 
and therefore swaps the translations. The messages.po file has the following 
entry, unmodified in messages.po.updated

#: journalist_templates/edit_account.html:53
msgid "Reset Two-Factor Authentication"
msgstr "Réinitialiser la validation en deux étapes"

The correct behavior would be to keep the original translation. It is always 
incorrect to assume two different phrases (in this case "Could not verify token 
in two-factor authentication." and "Reset Two-Factor Authentication") have 
exactly the same translation.

Cheers
