I don't think that the value is empty.
it is not defined at all. otherwise the empty value would be inserted 
(instead of the name).

so you can prevent the occurence of your constant-names by defining all 
your constants initially empty in a TS-template no editor got access and 
which is included at the beginning:

constant.label1-default =
constant.label1-de =
constant.label1-nl =

afterwards an editor may redefine these constants (or not)

constant.label1-default = this is englisch text
constant.label1-de = die ist deutscher text
constant.label1-nl = ... (i don't speak dutch ;)
