They tell you that the translation in the given language is identical to 
the value of the name=* tag. If you see the name-Tag as a fallback for a 
missing name:xx-tag (what you should), those pseudo-translations are 
needless. I'm currently in a discussion with Marc Schütz (search through 
the mails of the last days) if deleting them is a good or a bad thing.
