Speaking for Germany (even though I'm Austrian ;-), I can confirm this, 
Ian.  It is required to provide the name and some data of the company,
but certainly not such a disclaimer.

And depending on how conservative the respective corporate lawyers are, 
when posting to mailing lists such as ours even the data on the company
is not required (though we all know that corporate lawyers tend to err
on the side of caution which is probably why you see the German IBMers
and Jörn include such footers).
