 I've noticed some strings have this weird trailing characters and some
 don't, without any particular reason why some have it and others don't.

 Take a look at attached screenshot. When tested with poEdit-generated MO
 file, everything worked fine.

 However, msgunfmt reads it correctly and generates a proper PO file that
 can then be converted to MO file (with eg. msgfmt) that's identical to the
 one generated from the source PO file directly.

 Since GlotPress-generated MO file is shorter than the one generated with
 msgfmt, I am suspecting that the optimized hash table is missing and that
 php-gettext is not handling that case well.
