As I see it, the quote from the string freeze document only applies to strings that don't _need_ translation. Adding a string that _should_be_ translated is a freeze break, even if it is not marked as translatable. (Accidentally not marking it is a bug, deliberately not marking it is jut plain rude.) That's just my interpretation after a couple of years of alternating between lurking and being active.
