As I said earlier I was misreading the original one.

The input to strbuf_add_commented_lines() actually is a string that
uses LF as a record terminator and asks the function to output each
record on its own line prefixed with either "#" or "# ", so I should
have considered the last LF as part of the second line.

In other words, the output should be as if you just did

-	"\nWrite/edit the notes for the following object:\n";
+	N_("\nWrite/edit the notes for the following object:\n");

in your patch, i.e. (2).

Thanks.
