Most translation maintainers don't generate pots/pos from sources, they just grab the updated po's from l10n.gnome.org. The software behind l10n.gnome.org (damned-lies) generates them using intltool as far as I see. If you update the po's yourself somehow outside, most translators will override them, as we assume only we work on the po files and damned-lies. I guess the good thing to do is to make intltool catch the strings, otherwise I think it is a bit too late to inform translators of what needs to be done, unfortunatly :-( .tarballs due in two days right?
