From a very quick scan of the xgettext sources (c++), it seems like they are
writing their own parser, and didn't see anything
special for windows, so not sure if it would produce the right thing without
running it.
Can you please test on windows?
(on careful inspection only 2 messages were having the problem, the third was
flagged up due to a different reason)
The messages to look out for are:
#: core.py:84
msgid ""
"Your gesture map file contains errors.\n"
"More details about the errors can be found in the log file."
#: gui/__init__.py:398
msgid ""
"Welcome to NVDA!\n"
"Most commands for controlling NVDA require you to hold down the NVDA key "
"while pressing other keys.\n"
"By default, the numpad insert and main insert keys may both be used as "
"the NVDA key.\n"
"You can also configure NVDA to use the CapsLock as the NVDA key.\n"
"Press NVDA+n at any time to activate the NVDA menu.\n"
"From this menu, you can configure NVDA, get help and access other NVDA "
"functions.\n"
only the first line of the message appears in the xgettext output.

Only suggesting it as a temporary fix, and we do have tripple quoted messages
elsewhere.

No responce yet on the bug-gettext list.
