After doing some msgmerge on is.po I think omitting these line numbers might be the wrong move.
msgmerge can get very confused, and mark translations fuzzy across unrelated files, presumably that wouldn't happen if they were there. I haven't tested it though.
CC-ing the gettext maintainer, maybe he has some insights. The gettext manual doesn't discuss this as far as I can see.
