I am seeing this too.  It was caused by the change to cus-edit.el on
2005-02-27:

        * cus-edit.el (custom-buffer-create-internal): Improve progress msgs.
        (custom-magic-alist): Change the status descriptions again.
        (face widget-type): Total rewrite based on `restricted-sexp'
        to eliminate the confusing double hiding levels.
