How about posting the guilty lines? :)
I suppose you have some private macro which are using some Autoconf
internal macros, and you are now paying this: maybe the names no
longer exist.
But I'm surprised, as we changes diversion names but kept AU
definition for people using them.
A more likely explanation could be that you were relying on the dead
broken quotation of 2.13. If you were over quoting expecting 2.13 to
under quote, now that 2.50 _quotes_, you have over quotation leading
to divert receiving a macro name instead of the evaluation of this
macro.
