That's unfortunate.

I would definitely prefer to see xgettext changed, rather than having
to do sed or awk tricks to post-process its output.
So, to me, (4) is the least preferred option.
Since multi-line arguments cause problems, maybe an option named
--copyright-notice could be implemented in xgettext, to be used
multiple times as in:
$ xgettext --copyright-notice="Copyright (C) 2001-2012 Python Software
Foundation." \
--copyright-notice="Copyright (C) 2000 BeOpen.com." \
--copyright-notice="Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Corporation for
National Research Initiatives." \
--copyright-notice="Copyright (C) 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch
Centrum." \
--package-name=myapplication --package-version=0.1 \
--language=python myapplication.py -o myapplication2.pot
Again, this would cause myapplication2.pot to include:
# Copyright (C) 2001-2012 Python Software Foundation.
# Copyright (C) 2000 BeOpen.com.
# Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Corporation for National Research Initiatives.
# Copyright (C) 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum.
in stead of:
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
I hope you think this is a good suggestion.
Please let me know, thanks for your time!
