How about this:

In the Emacs-integrated version of Semantic, we semantic-new-buffer-fcn
so that it runs the mode-dependent parser setup functions before doing
anything else.  This is as opposed to running the parser setup functions
from the mode-hooks, as your upstream code does, or in the body of
semantic-mode, as the Emacs version currently does.  So, when srecode
calls semantic-new-buffer-fcn, the right setup will take place.

What do you think?
