Details:

I have following code in test.po file:

========================================================
#: test.py:8
#, python-brace-format
msgid "[{selnum} of {maxnum} object selected]"
msgid_plural "[{selnum} of {maxnum} objects selected]"
msgstr[0] "[{selnum123} von {maxnum} Objekt selektiert]"
msgstr[1] "[{selnus} von {maxnum} Objekten selektiert]"
========================================================

{selnum123} in msgstr[0] shows no format specification error from 'msgfmt.exe'
if you run with option '--check'.

The same problem, if:
msgstr[0] "[{selnum} {selnum123} von {maxnum} Objekt selektiert]"

If you use a wrong specification in msgstr[1] its raise an error properly.
Also if you work without plural.
