Well, I take this back. The .strings *files* are demonstrably different.

Normally, the method for looking up localized strings (-[NSBundle 
localizedStringForKey:value:table:]) returns the key if the localized value 
doesn’t exist, but the keys in the IB-generated .strings files for the other 
localizations are *not* the English text from the base localization, but some 
random IB object IDs. That might explain why the rules are different: returning 
the key would be meaningless.

The only way to find out would be to submit a bug report with the question. In 
practical terms of getting a solution out to your users, I guess you just fix 
it using whatever means work right now.
