Demonstrating how authoritative my opinion isn't I wrote:-

I was wrong.  It seems that M-C-x requires that lisp code be properly
formatted, in particular that the defun is the only thing beginning in
column 1.  If you format the code:-

(defun map-to-buffer (map buffer)
  (interactive)
  (switch-to-buffer buffer)
  (save-excursion
        (save-window-excursion
          (save-match-data
                (widen)
                (goto-char (point-min))
                (insert "\\begin{document}\n")
                (dump-map map)
                (goto-char (point-max))
                (insert "\n\\end{document")
                (indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil))))))

Then it will work.
