Yes, this is exactly what I did in l10n-sync before reverting the changes. It has been tested locally with the "broken" files in place and the script stopped as expected before committing. Indeed, the breakage happened when the 5 "sublevels" PO files for Banish and Belarusian are temporarily concatenated into one single PO file, which "msgcat". The single PO file is then used for synchronize the PO files in individual packages. The "msgcat" command (line 585 in l10n-sync) was indeed not protected by error handling in our scripts, while most gettext commands are. The fix I committed added a prior test of merged PO files with "msgfmt -c" (and exiting if that fails) and I just added one more error handling in the "msgcat" command itself.
