Follow-up Comment #1:
> It is, of course, not a valuable feature to be able to process filenames
with embedded commas or newlines.
True. The cost of such a feature - namely, that PO editors that want to show
the files need to unescape the file names - would not be worth the benefit. It
would complicate the PO file format specification for too little benefit.
> A simple solution would be to just throw a fatal error for such cases.
Agreed.
