Hmm, I did the same, but with two running Emacsen (one -Q and one with
my .emacs loaded, both master - but I guess that doesn't matter), and I
guess they somehow interfered.  Seems a lock is created when reverting
happens because the buffer is modified, and that causes the trouble when
multiple Emacsen hang around.

With only one running session, I can't reproduce either.  So the
original issue seems to be fixed indeed.

Regards,

Michael.
