In line 890 of this file, there's a call to align-regexp that looks like this:
(align-region beg end
(or exclude-rules
align-mode-exclude-rules-list
align-exclude-rules-list)
nil
separator
(function
(lambda (b e mode)
(when (and mode (listp mode))
(setq sec-first (min sec-first b)
sec-last (max sec-last e))))))
Note how the separator here is passed as 5th argument, while the
docstring of `align-region' documents it as the 3th arg. Furthermore,
the exclude-rules are passed as 3rd arg, but they're documented as
5th.
Is this correct?
Apparently this was written 15 years ago, so this means I'm either
missing something or this code branch is never reached.
Cheers,
Artur

Nice catch, Artur, the code at least is wrong. The 3rd argument should be
shifted forward to become the 5th argument.
I wonder what fixing this will break... :)

Since it's possible this will break something else, should this "fix"
go on master instead of the release branch?

No, emacs-25 is fine in this case.
Thanks.
