Ah, that solved it! I have 22.1 on ubuntu -- but I still had the old
version of wdired in my local elisp directory, so the new version in
the distrubution was being shadowed. removing the old wdired file
fixed things.

Is there a straightforward way of comparing which packages one has
loaded locally versus those that have been incorporated into the
distribution?
