Could you find out why msgmerge do it?

Lokalize and poedit preserve the field and don't move it; although this
probably doesn't count as support (BTW what particular editors do
you mean?).

Of course we could add another sed script or two when msgmerging
the files, however, I'm not sure whether it would be an improvement ---
it would fix the issue (that is, GNUN won't modify the files)
for some editors, but it would remain for other: for example, poedit
writes long passages in a single line, and GNUN will limit the line
length.

If you care of unneeded CVS commits, you could msgmerge the files
before committing. it would work for all editors.
