Michael,
Do you have sufficient documentation to submit official requests for the
languages in question? If so, please do.

Tetum is now an official language of Timor Leste. It has no 639 code.
Seselwa, a French Creole, is an official language of the Seychelles.
It has no 639 code.
Information I got from "Pays et capitales du monde", a publication of
Conseil National de l'Information Géographique, which I received
while at the 3166 meetings in Paris earlier this month.
This report noted other languages which had no codes, but it turns
out that they only had 3-letter codes, and the compilers were only
looking at 639-1.
Tigrinya has ti which the investigators must have missed.
Haitian Creole was listed as having no code.
Palauan has pau in 639-2
Tok Pisin has tpi in 639-2
