It's a documented "bug" in gettext: "When an empty string is used for
msgid, the functions may return a nonempty string."  I suspect it was
added in a misguided attempt to be a feature, because the nonempty string
it returns is actually the header from the .po file listing the translator,
translation date, etc.   You can see if by reverting the patch and running

  exif --tag=InteroperabilityVersion --ifd=Interoperability -s

I saw it in gtkam, too, before this patch.

I'm not completely positive why it didn't show up before.  Now that you
mention it, the description in cases like this used to duplicate the title
instead--now it's blank.  I'm not sure where that behaviour has changed.
