Thanks for reporting this. This seems to be a systematic problem in gnulib, because gnulib-tool isn't smart enough (and arguably should not be smart enough) to rewrite license names that cross line boundaries. For example, arg-nonnull.h's original source says this: MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details. and the newline between the "GNU" and the "Lesser" causes gnulib-tool to miss that instance of "GNU Lesser General Public License". I looked for every instance of this I could find in gnulib, and came up with the attached patch. It's mostly mechanical and it is so large (540 kB) that I compressed it. I haven't installed this into gnulib yet since I'd like another pair of eyes to look at it.
