I agree with you that this should be fixed; however we're too close to the next release to be changing translatable strings right now. It will need to go into the next release.

An error message is created using 2 translated strings which is error prone for translators:

This is the code from current git:

In fact it is wrong in the Italian translation:
"separatore %s mancante".

A least this needs a "translators" comment telling that the %s must be at the end of the string.

A possible fix is using two different strings:
_("missing separator")
_("missing separator" (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?))
