After working through my .emacs file I found that this problem goes away
when I turn off cua-mode.

Not sure whether this is actually a bug or if it's the intended behavior.

When I run emacs -Q and then do my custom keybindings, the problem does NOT
occur.

So apparently something in my init file is messing things up.  I'll work on
isolating it.

Thanks.
