--text follows this line--

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

====

I recently upgraded from Emacs 22 to Emacs 23 (W32 on Windows XP).
I have been using emacs-wiki and groovy-mode and not both fail with a similar error pointing to this:
font-lock-set-defaults: Wrong type argument: symbolp, (quote beginning-of-line)

It works on the second time or after turning font-lock on and off, and then fails again next time I try to use it.

If I enable debug-on-error I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (quote beginning-of-line))
  font-lock-compile-keywords(nil)
  font-lock-set-defaults()
  font-lock-mode-internal(t)

  apply(run-hooks (text-mode-hook emacs-wiki-mode-hook))

  find-file-noselect("c:/home/wiki/WrsTreeMap" nil nil nil)
  find-file("c:/home/wiki/WrsTreeMap")
  emacs-wiki-find-file(("WrsTreeMap" . "c:/home/wiki/WrsTreeMap"))
  call-interactively(emacs-wiki-find-file nil nil)

Looks like a regression to me - I saw a related discussion in one of the emacs supporting mailing lists.
