Seems that I was right, rare stuff indeed.

Look into pylupdate/fetchtr.cpp, around line 380
You will see a

case '(':
    if (yyParenDepth == 0)
      yyParenLineNo = yyCurLineNo;
    yyParenDepth++;
    yyCh = getChar();
    return Tok_LeftParen;


Replace with:

case '(':
    if (yyParenDepth == 0)
        yyParenLineNo = yyCurLineNo;
    yyParenDepth++;
    yyCh = getChar();
    //It may be a tr(u"whatever"), skip the 'u'
    if (yyCh == 'u')
        yyCh = getChar();
    return Tok_LeftParen;

It seems to work (just eats one more char). If you find it useful please apply
into the main line.
