This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Clear the buffer-modified flag, then insert an empty string:
  ESC ~
  ESC : (insert "")
This sets the buffer-modified flag.  The same applies to
e.g. insert-string, (insert-buffer-substring <empty buffer>),
but not (insert-file-contents "/dev/null").
