Comment (by pento):

 Thanks for your work on this so far, @jrf!

 Would you mind posting your updates as new comments, rather than editing
 comments? Comment edits aren't emailed to ticket subscribers, so I only
 noticed your updates by chance.

 > And just in case someone is now thinking "Cricky, PHPCS is really buggy,
 shouldn't we use something else ?"... The majority of the fixes - I'd
 wager > 95% - is correct. Using PHPCS on WP core is, however, in a way a
 stress-test of PHPCS, we're really getting into all the nooks and
 crannies, so I'm not surprised we're finding bugs.

 Agreed, WordPress has a huge variety of code, so I'm not surprised that
 we're running into edge cases, either.

 Is there are definitive method for running PHPCS/WPCS with the various
 PRs? Being fairly unfamiliar with both projects, it's a bit tricky to
 figure out whether bugs are being caused by know or unknown issues.

 Also, while I remember, another thing noticed - multibyte characters seem
 to cause invalid PHP to be produced. If you remove `/tests/` from the
 excluded locations, `tests/phpunit/tests/pomo/po.php` and
 `tests/phpunit/tests/pomo/mo.php` will have curly braces immediately
 following a multibyte string missing, after reformatting.
