msggrep -N accepts wildcard patterns:

`-N SOURCEFILE'
`--location=SOURCEFILE'
     Select messages extracted from SOURCEFILE.  SOURCEFILE can be
     either a literal file name or a wildcard pattern.

Doesn't this help?  You could do something like:

msggrep -N ../content/\* input.po | msggrep --msgid -F -e 'Please specify'
