Newer systemd is too smart, it detects the PIDs of the gettext calls and due to that a log lists libvirt-guests.sh with many different PIDs. Furthermore it struggles to collect the output in time, so it can be truncated and overall looks like: libvirt-guests.sh[37986]: Running guests on default URI: libvirt-guests.sh[37995]: Running guests on libvirt-guests.sh[37977]: R Gather the gettext result into a local variable and printing the value from libvirt-guests.sh itself fixes both issues.

Ah, is this the case where gettext prints the text in many sequences whereas echo does it all at once? Or what do you think is happening here? I don't quite understand how buffering steps into this.
