You are right.  The error checking is far from perfect in the PPC port.

Please start a sentence with a capital letter, "Return" in this case.
If you have multiple sentences put two spaces in between.  This is
what is in the GCS about this:

"Please put two spaces after the end of a sentence in your comments,
 so that the Emacs sentence commands will work.  Also, please write
 complete sentences and capitalize the first word.  If a lower-case
 identifier comes at the beginning of a sentence, don't capitalize it!
 Changing the spelling makes it a different identifier.  If you don't
 like starting a sentence with a lower case letter, write the sentence
 differently (e.g., "The identifier lower-case is ...")."

Here comments are discussed, but the same is true for Changelog entries.

Thanks,
