grep footprint= mnaxbo2_{1,2,3,4,5}.sch | sort -u

to get a list of all the footprints.  My guess is that somewhere in 
there is something that conflicts with a variable used by the m4 
footprints or perhaps there is a name that just isn't compatible.

If you want, you can post that list.

Your other option, if you're already building geda/gaf from cvs is to 
build a brand new gsch2pcb and gnetlist.  I added an option last night 
to gsch2pcb to totally disable using m4 for footprints.  Actually, m4 is 
disabled by default and you'd have to use --use-m4 or put use-m4 in your 
project file.  So my guess is that just updating gnetlist and gsch2pcb 
will make your problem go away.
