Hmm.  How are "missing hunks" caused?  Do you mean:

 - the substituted values from the expanded keywords are stripped out by
   default (with kwstrip=True) when you check out from p4;

 - when you submit your changes back, p4 side expects you to send the file
   with keywords just as it originally expanded;

and this causes the contents mismatch, leading p4 to reject your change?

The patch itself looks fine; I just wanted to make sure commit log
explains what was fixed.
