I submitted a bug report about a week ago about this:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101897

The problem occurs because the Makefile.in.in that is installed by 
glib-gettextize in glib 2.2 is different enough for the makefile patch 
in intltool to break.  The patch attached to the bug report should help 
temporarily, but a real fix hasn't been done yet.
