Ok. This '\b' is another problem in sk.po file (and will be fixed in CVS 
ASAP), but ...

... I've tested this:

$ head -n14 sk.po > xx.po
$ echo src/zpmd.h > POTFILES.in
$ intltool-update xx
Working, please wait.... done.
invalid multibyte sequence
invalid multibyte sequence
xx.po: warning: Charset missing in header.
                 Message conversion to user's charset will not work.
0 translated messages, 1 untranslated message.

$ cat xx.po # Slovak translation of gtranslator.

... and we have two empty msgids ... :-(

So, where is the problem? I'm using gettext-0.10.38 and intltool-0.12.

Note: With charset=iso-8859-2 in header all works ok.

Regards.
