And e.g. "see Asterix" surely is not in the pot file.
"see Asterix" is of course not in pot file, but "see %s" is, so "see %s" is translated, then %s is replaced with Asterix, and it's fine. applying your patch doesn't change the way pot file is built.
But at run-time, the string formatting is done first, and then the result of that is passed as an argument to the _() function that looks up the translation, so then:
contactname = "Asterix" _("see %s" % contactname)
*is* the same as:
_("see Asterix")
Now gettext will look for "see Asterix" in the po file...
