That makes a lot of sense, especially when combined with the off-list
suggestions I got to double-quote the error message.

The fact that you knew how to do a trace shows that you're way ahead of me in
grokking m4. :) I can confirm that replacing the comma with a colon makes the
problem go away.
Does someone with some m4-fu want to take a stab at producing a fix? The
problem appears in the 7-arg "ifelse" in the last few lines of
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/feature/dnsbl.m4, though the source could of course be
missing quotes earlier in the file.
I'd be happy to test any proposed patches and submit a bug report to Sendmail
if appropriate. At the very least perhaps the example in the comment of
/etc/mail/freebsd.mc should be modified to not use a comma.
Thanks!
