msgctxt "ignoring" has been included for poedit 1.3.8. There is no UI to
display msgctxt yet, see the bug report[1]. This means that msgctxt is
neither deleted nor displayed[2],[3]. ;-)

As Kenneth has already written, there are 18 bugs[4] in GNOME's po files
because translators just don't understand to strip "context|". I guess
the number of unreported bugs is even bigger.

Come on Petr, somebody HAS to play the bad guy! :-P

Well, I don't think we should wait for one special application to get
fixed... KDE also didn't care about poedit (some people may accept this
as an argument, some may not). gtranslator and KBabel/KAider (hmm,
according to Chusslove Illich, KAider has been renamed to "Lokalize" for
KDE 4.1) do support msgctxt.
