"Unusual" doesn't mean it isn't legitimate, it just means it's infrequent. > I can understand if nobody feels like attempting a fix right now By saying "fix" you imply this is a bug. But that's not necessarily so, because it is also legitimate to want Emacs behave like it does now, i.e. prefer the installed version to the one in the source tree. Any fix will have to deal with the dichotomy, and let users request the non-default variant.
