 You're right, this is confusing.

 It's in the output of the script in fallback-format-2-v4.
 But it's not in the src/or/fallback_dirs.inc in fallback-format-2-v4.

 I pushed a commit that explains what we do when the nickname or extrainfo
 is missing. I also explained which data is missing from the
 src/or/fallback_dirs.inc in fallback-format-2-v4.

 Yes, I've updated the links.
 I think one was different in a significant way, and the rest were not.
