That looks broken indeed.
I commited a test file, in there it looks good as far as I can tell. For me the 
conjugation looks like this:

     <translation id="1">
        <text>to be</text>
        <conjugation>
          <tense>Simple Present</tense>
          <singular>
            <firstperson>
              <text>am</text>
            </firstperson>
            <secondperson>
              <text>are</text>
            </secondperson>
            <thirdpersonneutralcommon>
              <text>is</text>
            </thirdpersonneutralcommon>
          </singular>
          <plural>
            <firstperson>
              <text>are</text>
            </firstperson>
            <secondperson>
              <text>are</text>
            </secondperson>
            <thirdpersonneutralcommon>
              <text>are</text>
            </thirdpersonneutralcommon>
          </plural>
        </conjugation>
      </translation>

I never had an empty entry there. But that should be easy enough to figure out.
I just spotted one like this... so there is definitively something to optimize.
        <conjugation>
          <tense>Präteritum</tense>
        </conjugation>

Cheers
Frederik
