AFAIK this is the usual behavior.

Anyway, at the moment, no modification to msgfmt parameter are included
into CVS, and I've made trial with fuzzy entries, both with -c and
without -c parameter, in both cases the fuzzy entry isn't translated.

I think that this is the correct behavior, because gettext can't rely on
fuzzy translations (which can have mismatched number or type of
parameters), nevertheless, the translation work isn't lost, so it will
be easy for each translator to fix fuzzy entries generated by, say, a
make update-po.
