When you manually run 'msgfmt -cv ja.po', do you get those same messages?
If not, what program is generating those messages?

When I run 'msgfmt -cv ja.po' at the TP, all is fine:

$ msgfmt -cv ja.po
1025 translated messages, 2137 fuzzy translations, 2097 untranslated messages.

$ msgfmt --version | head -1
msgfmt (GNU gettext-tools) 0.18.1

However, when it says "missing `msgstr' section", it mostly means that a
double quote is missing, somewhere near to where the first parse error
occurs.  Maybe some script at your side accidentily removed a quote or
unescaped an escaped one (\")?
