Ah, so it's a problem in the watch file!

What do people usually do to avoid this? A more complex regexp?

That's right ;) the new upstream version notifications sent by DEHS do
contain a note regarding incorrect values.

Easiest would be to match at least one digit, say use something like
version=3
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-(\d.*)\.tar\.gz

A stricter version would use ([\d.]+) instead, but that's up to you to choose.
