Aha! The mystery is explained - you are using cvsnt!

During conversion, I imagine you should see messages like:
[[[
co: foo/foo,v:9: missing author
co aborted
]]]

The basic RCS format defines "author" as an identifier.
CVSNT redefines "author" as an RCS @-string. This allows cvsnt to allow
spaces, periods, etc. in author names, *but* makes the resulting RCS files
incompatible with standard tools.

Max.
