Formerly completed strings are reset to 'Needs work'

I have noticed this on multiple occasions after another round of translations had been announced.
Translations strings for German get marked as ‘Needs work’ for seemingly no reason (no source string changes, no actual issue with the particular translation).
I don’t know if the behavior is linked to changes of source strings in other places. It happened for the most recent Translation Round 2 as well.

Depending on the amount of affected strings this can be quite an inconvenience. The way Pootle handles things one has to fix all strings of this sort among the ones which really are incomplete.

@sledges:
Have you got any idea about this?

Thanks for discovering this. The issue has now been fixed with the start of the last l10n round, and the “Needs work” strings shouldn’t be coming back in a zombie state:)
