I also noticed this problem with builds on GNU/Linux, starting with
trunk bzr 117109 (though prior to that build I had been building only
from the emacs-24 branch for a while, so I don't know when the problem
first appeared in trunk, and I haven't had time to bisect).  AFAICT it
happens in any mode, not just Emacs Lisp mode.  I don't see the problem
with builds from the emacs-24 branch.
