Comment (by hervada):

 I have found 2 problems trying to solve this:

 1. The __ngettext() function, which is used to give the singular/plural
 form for most of the above strings, does not know about context pipes. I
 think we must create a new function e.g. _nc() which does the combination
 of _c() and __ngettext(), that is, it gives the singular/plural form
 according to amount and stripes out everything from the pipe | character.

 2. At edit-pages.php:76 there is no direct call to __ngettext but an array
 such as:
 array(__('Published'), __('Published pages'), __ngettext_noop('Published
 <span class="count">(%s)</span>', 'Published <span
 class="count">(%s)</span>'))
