I cannot confirm the bug with 1.4.0-dev, rev. 7012. I'm using a German
WindowsXP, Prof, SP2.
You might want to try a nightly 1.4.0-dev build but take care: the working
copy format will be silently updated to a new format and cannot be read by
a 1.3.x client.

I saved the two files in an empty directory, opened TMerge and applied the
diff to the empty directory. The time stamp of the .po file changed but was
binary identical to the original file.
Does it also work for you if you place the files outside of your working
copy and apply the patch there? If not, where can I checkout the directory
containing the po file?
