gettext has support for this.  See (info "(gettext)Plural Forms"),
specifically the "ngettext" function.

In this case I think you would write:

  printf_filtered (ngettext ("%d inferior added.\n", "%d inferiors added.\n",
			     copies),
		   copies);

Glancing at the patch it seems to be missing some _() calls in this
area.
