I was about to do that (replace it with logged_gettext() actually, but
it's the same thing.)

What I meant was, the _() macro gets the same arguments.

Anyway, the bug in this case was that Freeciv would construct a label
by concatenating two strings, one of which could be empty.  I'm rather
ashamed I didn't notice this myself, in fact I looked at it right
before emailing you and I was _sure_ that it was correct.  In my
defense, no one else found it before now either.

Anyway, thanks for your time and your trouble.
