The fa.po is actually correct.  Whenever source code changes such
that the line numbers of translatable messages are affected, upon
certain activities (make distcheck?), a new pot-file is generated
and so merged with translations before making them.  This is
quite a known problem, mostly affecting the less technical
translators that do not merge from CVS.

To hide the problem, I have export LINGUAS="en fa" in my bash
profile, so only fa.po is regenerated in my checkouts.
