That would certainly have saved me a fair bit of time since the only indication I got was an empty set of quotes in the error log. I always feel like tabs aren't the best separators for these sorts of files anyway since they are usually invisible but since that isn't likely to change, making it more obvious what the problem is would be the best approach.

Another idea would be for Galaxy to issue a clear error if a loc file has an inconsistent number of fields/tabs per line.
