You really should use the -c / --check option of msgfmt. Then the warning
becomes a fatal error:

$ msgfmt -c blueprints.po 
blueprints.po: warning: Charset missing in header.
                        Message conversion to user's charset will not work.
msgfmt: blueprints.po: warning: PO file header missing or invalid
                       warning: charset conversion will not work
msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
