A bug was filed about this:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311007

I'm looking into it now.

Probably not related.  This is likely an issue of how gnome-doc-utils
is calling xml2po.  I think xml2po does something like take the basename
of the po file as the language.  I remember before having to adjust how
I called it to make sure the language codes got set right.  I suppose I
didn't get it quite right.  I'll look into it.

Actually, gnome-doc-devel-list is the way cool list for this stuff.

Oh, that's bad.  It sounds like an intltool problem to me.  You should
probably take this to gnome-i18n or gnome-i18n-tools.
