Yes, It does. Although a new question emerges...

Consider, for example, the definition of the 'warranty' help string
given by the octave-3.2.2/src/DOCSTRINGS file, say, 
warranty
@c toplev.cc
-*- texinfo -*-
@deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} warranty ()
Describe the conditions for copying and distributing Octave.
@end deftypefn

out of this definition, and after execute the admin/split_docstrings
script, a new file called 'warranty' will be created, replacing the old
one, at octave-forge/language/base/help/octave/ with the following
content:
@c toplev.cc
-*- texinfo -*-
@deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} warranty ()
Describe the conditions for copying and distributing Octave.
@end deftypefn

So far, the files located at octave-forge/language/base/help/octave/
start omit the line "@c toplev.cc", instead they start with "-*- texinfo
-*-", so the question is, is that behavior intended? in other other
words, should the content of the files located at
octave-forge/language/base/help/octave/ start with 

-*- texinfo -*-

or something like:

@c toplev.cc

which is actually the information one can get from the
octave-3.2.2/src/DOCSTRINGS file and vary for each command?
