I do not do Transient Mark mode myself.
This one is hard to repeat. Everytime I see it happen I try to repeat it and
it won't. The most common is the M-< as originally stated but I also see it
other times. I believe this second way is when I position the cursor at the
start of some text and then do a c-s sequence to move to some text farther
down. I'll then hit <cr> to terminate the search and then c-w to cut the text
block from the start of the search to the end of the search string. Sometimes
I would also type c-a to not cut the line I searched to.
Most of the time the c-x works fine but every so often it says mark is not
set in the buffer. Then the c-x-c-x c-w sequence works.
This first showed up in the 22.0.50 release I grabbed quite a few months ago.
