Hi,
src/stat.c contains a translator comment that has no effect because
it's more than one line away from the beginning of the _() invocation.
How to reproduce: Look in po/coreutils.pot, searching for 'Access: %x'.
No translator comment is there.
This was introduced in commit d3227eeb90c8308abd1e6bf08ee253b7a4e78d1d
on 2012-01-09.
Here's patch that fixes it.

Subject: [PATCH] stat: Reactivate a translator comment (lost on 2012-01-09)
* src/stat.c (default_format): Move translator comment to immediately
precede the _() invocation.
