Why not just don't use ediff-defvar-local with defcustoms? Just write the two extra lines by hand? AFAICS, it's precisely two variables that seem to be affected: ediff-use-faces, ediff-highlight-all-diffs So this email is longer than the change that will be needed. > as it was before the change.=C2=A0 Not sure when this change in behavior > of defvar happened, but probably within the last year or so. Pretty sure it's this three-year old change: http://debbugs.gnu.org/1821 rather than something to do with the byte-compiler or defcustom or whatever.
