I recently redefined the main function related to this, using
define-minor-mode.  But it relies on changes in macros in cl-macs and
easy-mmode, so you may need to recompile those files in the right order
to get the right result.  I.e. please recompile lisp/simple.el (and
re-dump) after compiling all other files.  Or just try bootstrapping.

Of course, maybe I did mess something up in my rewrite, so please
confirm/infirm that the above fixes your problem.
