Fixed. The file simply needed to be converted to UTF-8 from ISO-8859-1
using iconv + editing of the header:

for i in `ls grass*_pt.po ` ; do iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 $i >
dd.tmp ; \mv dd.tmp $i ; done

... then edit all three files for the header update of encoding.

No more "invalid multibyte sequence" errors.

Perhaps we should convert all .po files to UTF-8? This is not yet the case.

Additional observations:
- the transifex_merge.sh deletes all headers along with the translation authors
- it empties all "fuzzy" state messages.

Due to that I didn't merge yet the updated translations. I try to
understand where the header replacement with the generic gettext
header happens.
