I figured out that running
    lupdate-4.5 -locations absolute TeXworks.pro
does help and also helps in case of missing locations. (And it adds
relative, not absolute paths.)

So I'll try to use that and will hope that it will work in future. (Is
it possible to fix anything in the original .pro file to instruct
lupdate to "behave as expected"?)

Thanks for the pointer,
