The vhdl-mode patches 3.32.6 and 3.31.25 fixed various Emacs 21 related 
issues, including this one.  You can upgrade to the latest patches of 
vhdl-mode 3.31 and 3.32 at http://opensource.ethz.ch/emacs/vhdl-mode.html.

I will make sure that the latest patch also makes it into the Emacs 21 
distribution.

Thanks for the hint,
