I see this too, but as you say, it only happens with "make check-maybe" 
(or when running electric-tests.el manually *after* "make check-maybe"). 
I can't reproduce it otherwise. If I check out the commit before this 
patch, the issue goes away though.

I'm not totally clear on what check-maybe does, but it seems to create 
some persistent state that causes the electric-tests to fail. The 
failure I see is in `whitespace-chomping-dont-cross-comments' for 
`c-mode', which would seem to point to my patch being the culprit, but 
if I'm understanding what that function is testing, everything works as 
it should when I try it out interactively.
