I wasn't aware of this. It's strange, as this syntax is documented in gettext:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/perl_002dformat.html#perl_002dformat
I just tested locally on a fresh install of Pootle, and it seems the warning
only appear for strings that have several plural forms AND the {} placeholder
is not used in all of them. No warnings for simple (singular) translations or
for plural forms that all have the {} placeholder in them. Have you seen the
same thing ?

If it's a problem, it can be changed to the usual %1$s, %2$s, ... It's not too
late as only a few strings use this.
