(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 24.0.50.6 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) of 2011-01-15 on headley"
Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
emacs -Q
(defvar f-m-hook-run 0)
(add-hook 'fundamental-mode-hook
(lambda () (setq f-m-hook-run (1+ f-m-hook-run))))
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "f-m-test-buf")
major-mode)
;=> fundamental-mode
f-m-hook-run
;=> 0
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "f-m-test-buf")
(fundamental-mode)
major-mode)
;=> fundamental-mode
f-m-hook-run
;=> 1
A related problem: (info "(elisp)Auto Major Mode") states:
-- Command: fundamental-mode
Fundamental mode is a major mode that is not specialized for
anything in particular. Other major modes are defined in effect
by comparison with this one--their definitions say what to change,
starting from Fundamental mode. The `fundamental-mode' function
does _not_ run any mode hooks; you're not supposed to customize
it. (If you want Emacs to behave differently in Fundamental mode,
change the _global_ state of Emacs.)
Which is incorrect, as the recipe above shows (the hook _is_ run when
`fundamental-mode' is called explicitly).

This was fixed a few months ago (2011-10-27 commit to simple.el).
Closing the bug. Thanks.

Well, with current emacs-snapshot (GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1
(i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.2.3) of 2012-01-26 on zelenka,
modified by Debian) I get `0' even for the second time above. So now
`fundamental-mode-hook' doesn't seem to be run at all? That fixes the
documentation problem I guess, but is certainly not what I need.
What's the point of having `fundamental-mode-hook' at all, if it isn't
ever run?
And, how can I run code whenever a new buffer is setup (in
fundamental-mode), if `fundamental-mode-hook' is not meant for that?

There is no fundamental-mode-hook any more.

You can't.

You can perhaps fake it with some combination of (setq-default
major-mode my-fundamental-mode), `buffer-list-update-hook', and
advices. It won't be pretty, though.

Or use after-change-major-mode-hook.

The OP's use case
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "f-m-test-buf")
major-mode)
does not run after-change-major-mode-hook, I think.

Exactly. I need a way to run code for _any_ new buffer (I don't really
need to run the code for temporary buffers which never get any user
interaction, but I don't think there is a way to set those apart), no
matter how it is created.
Is that really so much to ask?
If so, I suppose a `display-buffer-functions' hook as proposed by Juanma
on emacs-devel just now[1] would be something I could make do with (the
problem with that solution would be that I only need to run the code
once when the buffer is created, but I guess testing a variable every
time a buffer is displayed isn't worse than running useless code for
never-displayed temporary buffers).
`after-change-major-mode-hook' is what I use, but it is not run for new
default-moded buffers, even when I setq-default `major-mode' to
something else than `fundamental-mode' (maybe because `major-mode' is
only used when the buffer is created by `find-file'? The `major-mode'
docstring needs some clarification in that respect).

There is a way: whether they call a major-mode function or not.
Of course, some packages may erroneously forget to call a major-mode
function for those buffers, but the problem is in those packages.

Ooh, I did not know that. Thanks. Is this documented somewhere? (I.e., a
recommendation that a major mode function should be called in any buffer
of potential interest to the user.)
In that case, `after-change-major-mode-hook' should do, after all.

Yes, I admit I have code around that does(n't do) that myself (e.g.
simple dumping of some text into a buffer left in fundamental-mode), as
I had no idea calling e.g. `fundamental-mode' in a buffer already in
fundamental-mode was supposed to be of some value (until I bumped into
this problem, that is).
