If the new version of array.cocci is equivalent to the current one then
that last step should show no difference.

I hoped it.

The changes in array.cocci are expected of course, but the others
indicate that the new version missed transformations that the current
version generated.

Would we like to submit a bug report for the Coccinelle software?

Not really, because...

Which version did you try out for the comparison of generated patches?

... I use the last version of the Debian testing package, 1.0.4.deb-4.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/coccinelle says it was removed from
testing recently.  I was actually waiting for a more recent version
like 1.0.8 to be packaged; not sure what's going on there.

Anyway, someone who can reproduce the issue using the latest release
of Coccinelle would be in a better position to file a bug report.
