I have to pass on that, really sorry. I don't use emacs at all, and
I even had to install it just so that I could run the copyright update
script. Plenty of people seem to know emacs really well, whereas my
emacs hackers ended over 10 years ago, and I don't remember anymore.
If you are looking for files that the script mis-handled, you can
have a look at:

   * testsuite/gdb.ada/gnat_ada.gpr
   * sim/testsuite/sim/mips/testutils.inc
     http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-01/msg00097.html

In both instances, the problem came from the fact that the copyright
line became too long and had to be wrapped, but the wrapping forgot
to add the comment marker (a "--" for .gpr files, and a "#" in the
.inc file).
