This bug has been fixed in git.

You can download a new copy of scm/translation-functions.scm right now an
use it with 2.12, I believe.

You can also get 2.13.8, and download the latest copy of
scm/translation-functions.scm.

Or you can just use the workaround I mentioned earlier to avoid the warning
messages.

Thanks,
