I wanted to add that unlike the general "story" and "page" problem, it
seems that maybe this one can be solved, because they are translated
if a translation exists..

The forum, blog and book modules contain their corresponding strings,
so perhaps these strings could be added in system.install where these
node types are defined, in dummy t() code, so that potx can get them.
