I think it is the CR characters. It appears that in the reference 
results, the CR characters are treated as being present in the file,
whereas on your system, they are not. This difference

^M is a CR character and in the input file it is @ followed immediately
by the ^M leading it to be parsed as an @-command in the reference 
results, but on your system it is followed immediately by the 
end-of-line.

In the input, @' was at the end of a line. In the reference results,
I suspect that a CR character appeared first, otherwise this error 
message would have been given.

There may be other differences, but let's try fixing those first.

The error message "unknown command `^M'" has been present in the 
reference logs as long as
tp/tests/coverage/res_parser/formatting_cr/formatting-cr.2
has existed. So I don't know what has changed.

Do you know if the tests still pass with Texinfo 6.3 on your system?
