You've been caught by two different mechanisms.  When the resource
"translations" is looked up only one of the two is found.  The
"#override" gets interpreted by the string->translation converter
(which only sees one or the other).

You need to manually merge the two translations in your ~/.Xdefaults:

    xmp*translations:		#override \
	<Btn2Down>:		rescan()	\n\
	<Btn3Down>:		show(biff) hide(list)\n\
	<Key>c:			userCommand()
