msgfmt -cv doesn't complain when there's only one specifier, like:
Foo %d bar.

msgfmt -cv does complain if I drop the %d here. "Foo bar %2$s baf" makes
msgfmt -cv complain about a missing %1$d. Apparently, at least in plural
strings, I can only drop specifiers from the right of the string, I.e.
with five specifiers I can drop #4 and #5, but not just #4, because then
#5 gives an error.

nn-mo.po:549: 'msgstr[1]' is not a valid C format string, unlike
'msgid'. Reason: The string refers to argument number 2 but ignores
argument number 1.
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
