Uh, it works 100% of the time with builds prior to Emacs 24.4 -
more precisely, it works perfectly with Emacs 22, 23, 24.1, 24.2
and 24.3, as well as with pre-Emacs 24.4 builds through 2013-07-21.

The next build I have after that is 2013-08-02.  That build and
all later builds have the regression.

(This is all specified in the bug thread.)
