Did you build the emacs24 package?  If not, could you please build
Emacs 24.4 or 24.3 from the official source tarball on ftp.gnu.org,
and do it in the same way as you build the emacs-24 branch of the git
repo?  It is important to know whether there's a regression, or the
problem is somehow triggered by some particular configuration.

Fir that matter, can you show the details of the build of the "default
emacs24 package"?  The command "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" will insert
the description into a buffer that you can then copy.

Yes, that could also help, thanks.
