I can't reproduce the bug using emacs-23 branch (nor with the 23.1.95
pretest), starting from `emacs -Q'.

Daniel, could you please check if a 23.1.95 build from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ has this problem?

If so, please provide an even more exact recipe, sending the test file
as an attachement and providing precise steps starting from `emacs -Q'.
