In fact this has been fix directly in src:gdcm upstream:

https://github.com/malaterre/GDCM/commit/dd23e10b5c032ff996e483d35f1c971e4f746835

The issue really was in the C++ comments for doxygen documentation.

Fill free to close this as wontfix, since it does not impact building
src:gdcm anymore.

Thanks for your time reducing the issue
