Well:

1) I think that thinking that a given language should translate the
official name and the "short" name differently when the English name
is NOT different is plain wrong. The standard has "Brunei
Darussalam" for both entries and the translations should follow
that. If they don't, they're incorrect. FYI, the only translation that
has an official status in the standard is the French one and the
translation for this country is "Brunei Darussalam"

2) I don't see how that can be achieved with gettext

So, well, I think this bug is to be tagged "wontfix".
