Well you could still use variables, but it looks a bit weird, I agree.
Maybe there is a better solution for those cases:
 msgid "{actor} activity_stream.start_follow {dataset}"
which used to be:
msgid "{actor} started following {dataset}"

or:
 msgid "1 activity_stream.new_activity_from_singular {site_title}"
 msgid_plural "{n} activity_stream.new_activity_from_plural {site_title}"
which used to be:
 msgid "1 new activity from {site_title}"
 msgid_plural "{n} new activities from {site_title}"

Also, wouldn't this make CKAN really hard to use until it has been

It depends, you could still use the English translation as the template
(i.e. copy/paste and start to change it). I'm not entiertly sure, but I
think if you export a language from Transifex, it actually provides you all
missing strings from the source language (=English).
