Probably, Nick said like following style.

If a comment is put just before translatable string on the source:

>            strftime(buffer, 128, _("Today at %X"), tfile);

gettext retrieves it as a comment for the translation and put it into the po file:
> #. TRANSLATORS: file was modified less than one day ago
> #: ../src/xfdesktop-file-utils.c:137
> #, c-format
> msgid "Today at %X"
> msgstr ""

Tx won't remove those gettext's output so moving each comments into 
source (by making patch and sending it to Nick) is one way to keep them.

Yes, it's annoying.
