On 32-bit Debian Sarge with "nowebm 2.10c-3.2" I get the output you
show. But on 64-bit Debian testing/unstable using "nowebm 2.10c-3.3"
I get:

\section{parse\_aux.h}
\nwfilename{parse_aux.pamphlet}\nwbegincode{1}\moddef{parse_aux.h}\endmoddef\nwstartdeflinemarkup\nwenddeflinemarkup
\LA{}license\RA{}


Note that strictly speaking both forms are problematic: the first mangles
names, the second passes naked underscore to latex (maybe the intention
was to update '\moddef' so that it can handle underscores).
