I recommend uploading those files to virustotal.com. It scans
with plethora of antivirus engines and it can give you quite
good idea whether it is really a false positive or not.

AFAIK there is also good data exchange between virustotal.com
and many AV vendors so this is often an indirect way how to
make the AV vendor notice an issue :-)

Of course, try also talking with people from sf.net what AV they
are using and propagating the files to the AV vendor directly
for further analysis.

Usually AV vendors are quite responsive to such kind of reports.
It is in any AV vendor's interest to fix false positives asap,
especially of such popular SW. Often, the false positives are
caused by too weakly defined pattern sample in their virus database
which then can often be responsible for more false positives.
