I think that this is correct (and my guess is that the other are in fact
consequences and similar other issues). Indeed, there is a @macro:
@macro ovar{varname}
@r{[}@var{\varname\}@r{]}@c
@end macro
Called like:
@defmac AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN (@ovar{action-if-found}, @dvar{action-if-not-found, @
AC_MSG_FAILURE})
The trouble comes from the @c, indeed, the macro expansion leads to
@defmac AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN (@r{[}@var{action-if-found}@r{]}@c,
@dvar{action-if-not-found, @
AC_MSG_FAILURE})
which means that the end of the line is ignored.

It comes from
# 1 "conftest.c"
and the new feature of recognizing those kind of line specifications
to match with what m4 produces. You can use @hashchar{} instead of #,
maybe. Or, to be backward compatible
@asis{# 1 "conftest.c"}
