Before seeing this email I have done git fsck and anything to reset
it. Before that I was doing patch of Stefen for text scaling the
tabulated-list-mode.

As I have done patch incorrectly or maybe repeated it first time, this
happened. Problem is probably not related to that patch.

I have git clone --depth 1 the latest git and built Emacs again. Now is all fine and working, closing this bug.
