Ah, the script guesses the file type depending on its suffix...

How about this change?

 compare - $TMP.1 <<EOF || exit 1
-'\" Copyright (C) 1998-2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+'\" Copyright (C) 1998\(en2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
 EOF

I would expect that people prefer that, in comments, no troff
escapes are inserted, for readability. They wrote "(C)", not
"\(co", so accordingly they would not like "\(en" in the same
place. No?
