I now think that keeping a bug report open about this is overkill,
and introduce more noise rather than helping out.  So, since the
referenced patch has been since long written and applied, and the
issues originally spotted have been fixed, I'm closing the report.

I'll soon post a patch that improves the synchronization between
some examples from the manual and some test cases.  In the process
of writing it, I've noticed that various non-trivial examples from
the manual are not tested; and while I've remedied to part of this
problem with my patch, a lot remains to be done; so I'm opening
this bug to avoid forgetting about the issue.

  Stefano
