that's because an option was turned on that makes any gettext key without
value in that language to simply return the key itself as the translation.
hence the us.po is just a dummy file since the key used in the tt2 files
are in english :)

currently i'm using <-% and %->  except before the translation sentences.
tt2 allows runtime switching of the start/end tag.

I will send more detailed notes and diff once i get home next week.
meanwhile, would you consider to branch the development once the direction of
tt2/gettext is decided? that way we could have aggressive changes having 
more time to test with, and also regular fixes to the stable releases.
