Looks like g_settings_schema_key_get_description() returns the start of the current-locale’s po file if there’s an empty <description> tag (but with the tag present, or it returns an empty string). In dconf-editor master, see /ca/desrt/dconf-editor/demo/string.

The empty msgid is traditionally used to store po file metadata,
so calling gettext with an empty msgid is not the right thing
to do.

Mh, looks like g_settings_schema_key_get_summary() also has the problem (org.gnome.caribou)…
