I agree with Bruno's comments in the bug - this is a translator's
mistake. The message "There are 3 tabs open" can not be represented
without the variable. Therefore the variable must be present.

Of course, nothing stops a translator for saying their language uses 2
plural forms if it only really uses 1, simply to be able to use a word
for the singular case rather than a variable. I guess this won't be
common though, and might confuse other people using the file later.
