No translation units in translation?

An IP user made some translation edits to a couple of pages. They removed a fuzzy indicator, but also edited the translated text itself. There is, however, no translation unit shown in their contribution (or deleted contributions). Looking at one of the pages they edited, I can find the actual unit that was modified through the edit history of another editor of that page, but the unit's history does not match the page edit history---according to the page history Shirayuki restored the malformed variable translation, but in the unit history it shows Shirayuki's edit as (sort of) the opposite, and it also does not include the IP edits.

How did they perform those edits, and why is it not properly recorded in the unit history?

Thanks (and thanks too for fixing the translations). In this case though it looked like the user had managed to both confirm a translation and modify the contained text at the same time but still avoid any unit history updates---for example, in their edit to Magic words/ru, two fuzzy div's disappeared, but the text was also changed. The unfuzzing won't show up as a unit edit, why did the text change not show up as an edit in the unit history?
