Thanks for pinpointing this.

In fact, it's apparently not a problem with cc-mode, but with Emacs.
Here's a stripped-down recipe:

1. Create a file foo.el in your lisp path with the following contents:

(defconst foo
  (let ((beginning-of-defun-function
         (lambda (&optional arg)
           (not (eq arg nil)))))
    (progn
      (beginning-of-defun 1))))

(provide 'foo)

2. Byte-compile it (M-x byte-compile-file RET).

3. Create a file test.el with the following contents:

(progn
  (require 'foo))

4. emacs test.el

5. M-x eval-buffer

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax ")")
  eval-buffer()  ; Reading at buffer position 25
  call-interactively(eval-buffer t nil)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)


I don't know what causes this bug, though.  Anyone?
