Thanks!  That's a nasty little bug for somebody who hasn't seen it
before.  I don't the Elisp manual is all that explicit about what
happens in such cases.

Just as a matter of interest, have you searched cc-defs.el for any other
places the same bug might occur?  If not, I will.

I suggest I apply your patch now-ish.
