Thanks for the suggestion, that sounds plausible.

By the way, I'm a bit surprised that the second example ("blabla\004blabla") is extracted even without -a.  Maybe we should add some check in the PO writer.

When the file with msgids to be excluded using the -x option contains problematic msgids, xgettext fails.
This is a problem when the -a option is used, as -a causes things like
msgid ""
or
msgid "blabla\004blabla"
in the output, which I try to remove using the -x, as in
xgettext -a some.c -x some.xcl

In my opinion either -x should accept strings that do not follow all the rules, or -a shouldn't output such msgids.
