In the past when I saw that with make update-po all the resulting
changes were like the one you mention, I just reverted the
changes. With my first update-po, at least for Italian, there were
some real "updates" with new messages and changed messages, not only
this kind of changes with just a different order of the items in the
tags.
After all, you only need one "make update-po" after some changes in the
original text. Then you won't need to run it again until the original
text changes. But, yes, it is an annoying problem.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725931
Anyway as far as I can see, the proposed work around is already implemented
in the Makefile of the faq that already contains "PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=0
PERL_HASH_SEED=0".
