The "expected" one.  Yes.  Yes.
Maybe if you give a more complete and detailed recipe (showing the
exact file content (I used files containing the code you suggested,
with the "..." stripped out), the commands you use to compile the files,
when you exit Emacs and restart it, ...) we can get to the bottom of it.
