What about Bruno's comments here?
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html

Unlike bison, coreutils does indeed use formatstring macros (for example,
dd.c).  Dropping the requirement to need-ngettext instead of
need-formatstring-macros will cause crashes if those strings are ever
translated.
