Cockipt error. The doc string clearly says
"If non-nil Auto Revert Mode uses file notification functions.
This requires Emacs being compiled with file notification
support (see `auto-revert-notify-enabled'). You should set this
variable through Custom only." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's because this defcustom has a :set function defined for it; if
that function isn't run, the results are unpredictable.
Any reason not to close this bug?
