Rosetta would only revert the translation if it thinks it was an
"upstream" translation, not if it was modified in Rosetta.

An explanation could be that you uploaded the changed translations via
the import/export interface, but told rosetta it was a "published
upload"? If so, Rosetta will think that translation comes from upstream,
not from a Rosetta translator.

Any other scenario would look like a bug to me. Do you know how these
changes were done?
