Thanks very much, Kazuhiro.  Your workaround fixed the problem.  (I had to
add a separate `make-variable-buffer-local' in Emacs 24.2.)

I am surprised that Emacs24 shipped with such a glaring bug.

Perhaps you can mention the work-around as a follow-up to your bug report,
so that people can find it?
