Or if the author's employer claims that something was a work for hire. That's the point of the employer-disclaimer, which is separate conceptutally from the copyright assignment. So for PD code this still applies; it's arguably only really PD if the person who said so was the copyright owner, so a signed statement from the author that it's PD and from employer (anyone who might have a work-for-hire claim) disclaiming copyright interest should do, at least conceptually.
