It will be very cool if this extra information is given. It can even be useful as an extra entry in the #: comments. I agree that msgctxt should only be used for disambiguation context. Not notes from the programmers to help translators (although the context will obviously also help :-) What we might need to do is to adapt intltool to add the extra comment when creating the POT file from the .glade file.
