Thanks for the report (and sorry for the shameless delay). I have pushed a fix for that: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/commit/?id=9b9ebf8f Numbered arguments in the width and precision part are not supported yet, but I guess it wouldn't be a problem for gettext as it is ignored at extraction phase and 'javascript-format' flag is not emitted.
