I've been debating what to do about these functions. They're not enabled 
by default and don't seem very useful to me. I guess most other people 
don't find them useful either, since I think this bug has been present 
unnoticed for 24 years now.

It might be best to obsolete em-xtra.el (or improve these functions to 
be more useful?), but until I decide what to do here, let's just fix the 
bug.

That's now done in ea685170063, so closing this.
