I take it back. I can't reproduce this on AIX anymore. Sorry for the trouble. :(

If the majority of cooking accidents happen in the kitchen, then why don't we just cook in other rooms?

Eli,
Version and OS? Sorry, I forgot. (And it turns out to be important!)
This funny behavior happens on
emacs version 24.3.1
OS: AIX 6.1
It does NOT happen with on CYGWIN (also emacs version 24.3.1). Hmmmm.

I cannot reproduce this. What version of Emacs is this, and on what
OS?
