Different msgmerge versions have different line breaking algorithms
(because it's based on the Unicode line breaking algorithm, and
Unicode evolves over time). The default line length is 80 in all versions.

I would try to change the value of MSGMERGE_OPTIONS in po/Makevars:
MSGMERGE_OPTIONS = --width=999
