The diffs can be found at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/autoconf/autoconf_2.64-1ubuntu1.diff.gz. There seems to be a packaging bug in that the diff contains itself, but aside from that the changes seem pretty harmles. In particular the diff contains no mentioning of the string '$msg', so I don't know if it is really the cause of above error. Below are the relevant excerpts from the diff.
