There are these two commands:

head -219554 tokenized > ../eng.train
tail +219555 tokenized > ../eng.testa

The first one works on F7; the second one errors out:
tail: cannot open `+219555' for reading: No such file or directory

So, bug or no bug? And is it just funny on F7 or can you repro it elsewhere?
No bug, just POSIX standards change. If you want the old behavior, set the following:

   setenv _POSIX2_VERSION 199209
