I tried the name change, but it didn't help: still no 'Company Name' or
'Copyright' strings in the resulting .exe file.

I think there is a documentation problem:

    the example at http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/ uses
    hypenated names, but

    the names in py2exe/build_exe.py are the underscored names (e.g.,
    self.version_companyname).

It appears to me that the strings in py2exe/build_exe.py that can come
from either self.<stringname> or md.<stringname>, as in (line 825)

    self.version_filedescription or md.description or ""

are working; strings that are derived from self.<stringname> are empty.
I don't see how the self.<stringname> variables are supposed to get set.
