The problem seems to be in emacs configuration. This emacs uses as its configuration a ~/.emacs file. However, this file add-to-list load-library ~/.emacs.d/elist/basic.el where configuration for this particular emacs session is located. In that file there is a stanza: (autoload 'balance-mode "balance") (setq auto-mode-alist (append '(("\\.bal$" . balance-mode)) auto-mode-alist)) This work earlier this year, but for some reason not now. If I open balance.bal manually rather than by bookmark the balance mode works properly.
