Excellent! I was going to write a NEWS entry, so thank you for forcing my hand. I took the liberty to make a few minor changes to it for precision; if it isn't to your liking, do tell.

Most certainly, but I'm confident in the change. It wasn't done without serious preparation: I scanned hundreds of Emacs packages, and checked all boolean combinations in the reader condition to guarantee correctness (which showed that a flag in the condition was redundant and could be removed). There is now a serious test.
Looking for the origin I also ran Maclisp on a PDP-10 and can confirm that it does not have the bug, so it must have been endogenous to Emacs.
