Sorry for the monologue, but investigate I did. These are the interesting
ones:

The first 4 were Opera using a compatibility code point instead of the
canonical one. The final 2 are PUA vs proper, at least they render the
same on my computer. In all 6 cases, firefox and firefox-hk are correct.
I manually added the above 6 mappings and the 4 multi-code point mappings
from HKSCS-2008 to <https://gitorious.org/whatwg/big5>.
There are 29 mappings to U+003F (?) in IE that no other browser has. The
remaining mappings are to PUA or U+FFFD in all browsers, which appears to
simply be an artifact of the way the mapping is done internally. Mapping
these to U+FFFD unless anyone finds pages using these byte sequences seems
the only sane option.
So, <http://people.opera.com/philipj/2012/04/06/big5-foolip.txt> is the
mapping I suggest, with 18594 defined mappings and 1188 U+FFFD.
