I'm wondering if we might not be able to use a convenience wrapper around django-admin.py? It's a pretty short script as it is.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from django.core import management

if __name__ == "__main__":
    management.execute_from_command_line()

    if management.get_version == '1.2':
       import sys
       if 'makemessages' in sys.argv:
       ...... walk tree using find / sed, or the python equivalent

That is if we know which django versions exhibit this behaviour, a small script like this derived from django-admin.py could do away with this warning in README. Given that people in general don't tend to Read The Fine Manual, it might be something worth considering?

Jeroen
