I will put a comment about that in there for the next release, but
since the example line for that included in the Fvwm.tmpl doesn't have
a space it it, I wouldn't expect too many people to have a problem
with this.

The problem is your usage of the "+". It is not a generic line
continuation character. As it states in the man page, it can only be
used to continue function and menu definitions. Keep the lines
together, like so:

  *FvwmButtons(4x1) - whatever SwallowModule "Fvwm Pager" FvwmPager 0 3

and things should start working better.
