Ah, I found that this bug happens when you insert non-ASCII
characters, and I found the reason why that causes the
problem only in emacs-unicode-2 (difference in REPLACE
handling in Finsert_file_contents; HEAD uses insert_1 but
emacs-unicode-2 uses insert_from_buffer).  I'm now working
on fixing it.  Please wait for a while.
