Sorry. False alarm. The fact that it worked on a comment in lisp interactive 
mode was a clue. I use text mode more than 95% of the time so I didn't stop 
to think how useless my function would be when I tested on randomly typed 
strings in the context of *scratch*. As soon as I did M-x text-mode in 
*scratch* the function worked of course, even on the lisp code.
