 See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5655 for some background.

 Some BuddyPress users whose translations are being downloaded via
 automatic upgrades are getting out-of-date translations. api.wordpress.org
 appears to be telling them that 1.8 is the most recent available pot file.
 I'm testing this with pt_BR, but it also appears to be true at least of
 de_DE.

 Some data (dumped out of wp_update_plugins()):

 'plugins' payload sent to API:

 {{{
 array (size=2)
   'plugins' =>
     array (size=2)
       'buddypress/bp-loader.php' =>
         array (size=11)

           'Description' => string 'Social networking in a box. Build a

   'active' =>
     array (size=1)
       0 => string 'buddypress/bp-loader.php' (length=24)
 }}}

 Response from the API:

 {{{

   'plugins' =>
     array (size=0)
       empty

     array (size=1)

 (length=68)
           'autoupdate' => boolean true
 }}}

 I remember having a talk with Nacin about how languages are cleared for
 translation once they meet 100%-translated; maybe this is part of the
 problem? Could perhaps also be related to the fact that
 http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/ does not properly
 mirror all of BP's branches? (1.8 and 2.0 are missing)

 Happy to provide more details if necessary, and please let me know if I've
 reported to the wrong place.
