Now the question arises: are
there other special cases like this that translators ought to be aware
of? There's a little bit of information on the wiki [2], but I don't
know how up to date or complete that is.

Well, I wouldn't call them special cases, rather it is just hard to
not make a mistake due to the size of the project/amount of strings
there are.

Following restrictions apply/cause runtime issues if not met:
* Calc function names must be unique (e.g. *STRLIST_FUNCITON_NAME*)
* math symbol names must not contain whitespace
* Style names must be unique (e.g. STR_POOLCOLL*, STR_POOLNUMRULE*)
* the | symbol in windows installer strings - that is the one I count
as non-intuitive

In addition to what Christian said (and is noted in the wiki), you
sometimes have interesting comments in the code, like there:
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/master/sw/inc/strings.hrc#302

To access those comments, click the link to Source string location in
the String information area of the Weblate editor. It's not for all type
of strings, but that can be of great help.

Cheers
Sophie
