I found *many* other things to fix in English messages, I'm afraid. It
was hard to report them and I may go around the PO files to check
this.

As you suspect, yes it will interfere.

The trick to fix this without fuzzyting translations is to cleverly
replace to offending error in "msgid", in PO files, before doing the
change in the source and regenerate the PO(T) files.

I usually do this with sed. The trick is finding a search and replace
expression that only fits the place were the error was.
