Actually, I'm starting to wonder if the culprit is bad documentation in
propername.h.  It recommends:

~           --keyword=proper_name:1,"This is a proper name. See the gettext
manual, section Names."
~           --keyword=proper_name_utf8:1,"This is a proper name. See the
gettext manual, section Names."

But in comparison, I was previously using _("Rene' Seindal") which made it
through to the .pot file, with XGETTEXT_OPTIONS including:

~  --keyword=_ --flag=_:1:pass-c-format

And xgettext --help mentions only:

~  -k, --keyword[=WORD]        additional keyword to be looked for (without
~                              WORD means not to use default keywords)
~      --flag=WORD:ARG:FLAG    additional flag for strings inside the argument
~                              number ARG of keyword WORD


with no mention of your suggested syntax of --keyword=name:ARG,TEXT

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
