Ah, Emacs 21.2 does not create the file....

I have just tested my version of semantic-hack-autoloads (which i have posted)
with XEmacs 21.4.11 and it works fine, even if semantic-al.el does not exists??
What is the problem? What are the differences to your code which breaks...?

Should not be necessary (s.a.) but IMHO maybe adding the full trailer to the
new created file would be better. But anyway, i still do not see the problem
my version has with XEmacs - like you reported?!
