emacs -Q
M-x cvs-status RET ~/src/emacs/lisp RET
C-x b  *cvs-tmp* RET
C-h v buffer-undo-list RET
buffer-undo-list is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is nil
Local in buffer  *cvs-tmp*; global value is nil
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.

I think the value is expected to be t not nil...
