The following command probably does what you want, provided you can
get the regex right for the msgid -- though the command is cumbersome.
msgmerge bad.po new.pot | msggrep -K -E "<regex>" - | msgattrib
--clear-fuzzy | msgmerge -o good.po bad.po new.pot -C -
Here bad.po is old po file with wrong msgid, new.pot is .pot with
corrected msgid, and "<regex>" is extended regular expression
(as of egrep) representing the correct msgid. The idea is to generate a
compendium consisting of the single entry with correct msgid,
and remove its fuzziness. Afterwards, merge this compendium
with the incorrect po file. The downside is, it is sloooooow.
Disclaimer: I only tested the command with simple cases.
