What confuses it is the more-complicated install rules for .directory files,
not the different extension.

Yes, that's right.

That's not true. It handles directory files the same way it handles desktop
files. But the makefiles that are dealing with .directory files handle them
in a more complicated way because their names are changed as part of the
install process. Because of that, xml-i18n-prepare doesn't handle these
makefiles properly.
