With latest trunk:
emacs -Q configure.ac
M-;
asdf
C-SPC M-<
M-x uncomment-region RET
The uncomment-region does nothing; the line containing "dnl asdf"
remains commented out.
This is a regression; in Emacs 23.3, uncomment-region works as expected.
However, using the version of autoconf.el from Emacs 23 in Emacs 24
still shows the problem.
In GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.2.0)
of 2011-11-13 on furball
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11004000
configured using `configure '--with-x-toolkit=gtk3' 'CFLAGS=-g''

This is because the value of comment-start-skip in Autoconf mode is
"\\(?:\\<dnl\\|#\\) +"
The \< is intended to avoid matching a "dnl" that is part of a word. In
Emacs 23, the \< matches the beginning of the line
dnl asdf
in Autoconf mode. But in Emacs 24, it does not match the beginning of
that line at all. I don't see any related regexp changes in NEWS. Does
it ring a bell for anyone?

dnl isn't a word, it is a comment, so \< cannot match it.

Yet syntax-propertize-function for Autoconf uses
(set (make-local-variable 'syntax-propertize-function)
(syntax-propertize-rules ("\\<dnl\\>" (0 "<"))))
which does work for matching only occurrences of `dnl' as separate
tokens.

That's before dnl turns into a comment.
