OK, I see the problem.  The patch you supplied in the email was not
applied correctly to the brach.  The second hunk ended up in
c-beginning-of-statement.

So, it looks like my fault, and I'm not sure how it happened (maybe due
to the line number mismatch).  Sorry.

With this corrected in the branch, the new problem goes away.  I will
make a second release candidate with this fix.
