Yes, it does.  Thank you.

Somewhere along the line my toe was stubbed and running autopoint
seemed to be indicated.  I tried it, things got better and I had
no reason to go back, until my toe was stubbed again. :)
Since gnulib advertises itself as having the most up-to-the-second
gettext, it seemed mighty odd that my installed version had a
more recent version number than that of gnulib.  Oh, well, your
patch worked just fine.  I now use my installed gettext and it
is likely to be sufficiently up-to-date for my needs.

Thank you!
