You are right. This is a mistake in the translation.

The latest PO file the Translation Project has for this domain is from
version gawk-3.1.5.h; see http://translationproject.org/domain/gawk.html.

When I compare this PO file with the one in the gawk-3.1.6 distribution,
I see this difference:

$ diff -c3 <(msgcat gawk-3.1.5h.ja.po) <(msgcat gawk-3.1.6/po/ja.po)
*** /dev/fd/63  2007-11-13 00:47:24.000000000 +0100

This means, the program maintainer manually removed the fuzzy flag here.
This is bad; it goes against the rules of responsibility for the PO files
in <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Prerequisites.html>.
