Create ~/tmp/foo.cc with file contents:

  //

Start Emacs 24.5 by:

  emacs -Q ~/tmp/foo.cc

Type 42 in some other X11 window (eg Chrome), and select it. In the Emacs
window, paste it with the middle mouse button (mouse-yank-primary). The
number 4 is not fontified.

Try the same with Emacs 24.4 and all fontification is correct.
