I have done that now, in this build:

In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
 of 2013-11-12 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
 `configure --enable-checking 'CFLAGS=-O0 -g3' CPPFLAGS=-DGLYPH_DEBUG=1'

That made no difference.  But see below.

I took another look, and there is no bug; sorry.

FYI, I had some debug calls to `message' in the file, and one of
them printed the value of argument ORIG-FUN.  Apparently the value
of that argument is what has changed in recent builds.

Printing that argument now leads to tons of binary code plus the
complete doc string being logged.  IOW, the argument now seems
to be a byte-compiled function, whereas it was not compiled before.

Sorry for the noise.  I will close the bug.
