I'd say fixing existing english strings (like, fixing typos or 
incorrect/outdated explanations of what a program does) can be considered 
bugfixing and thus should be allowed even though it implies changing i18n 
strings.

To avoid the usual "They changed stuff behind our back" threads on 
kde-i18n-doc, we could possibly use something like "Commit message fixes on 
Friday's only" again, which is IMHO a good compromise between the two 
arguments "Fix bugs in the user interface and documentation" and "Avoid 
duplicate work for the translation people.".

Perhaps a script could also instantly mark all message commits done on 
Friday's as "done" instead of "fuzzy" so that KBabel doesn't go all wild.
