Thanks you! Hmm, apparently itstool repeats every translated element
if you execute it on an already translated file:
When using join mode, it’s common to maintain a monolingual version of
the file along with translations in PO files, and to build the
multilingual file that gets shipped.[...]
Translation units nested in other translation units are not repeated
in join mode; their translated content is merged into the top-level
translation unit, and that element is repeated.
(http://itstool.org/documentation/basic-usage/)
This is really bad... I will search for a workaround, but if there is
none creating that separate file is the easiest way to go. The
alternatives need the translation in the source package and/or are
specific to Docbook XML.
Cheers,
    Matthias
