The issue isn't on those files but on POT generation. Currently xgettext doesn't honor SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to fill POT-Creation-Date, which is used to fill PO-Revision-Date for auto-generated po files. These files are included into tarballs generated by make dist, therefore its date is already fixed, but they aren't present on our git tree---for obvious reasons. This bug has already been reported upstream[1] and probably I'll push it as soon as I have more test cases prepared and receive a brief review, but I can prepare a patch for previous versions if it's needed too.
