Thanks.  I committed to the emacs-24 branch changes that should fix
this.  In particular, buffer-file-type should be buffer-local again.
Please test (revision 110960).

There are still places in the Lisp sources that set buffer-file-type,
but with that variable buffer local, this should no longer affect the
other buffers.  I will remove the other references to this variable on
the trunk, as doing that might destabilize Emacs, due to the
complexities of the issues involved.
