Since the previous post seems to be lost, I re-try:

Hm, I wonder if this could be a problem in my patched version of 
Emacs+EmacsW32. Are you running that?

I see the problem in my patched version from today, but not in the 
latest unpatched version I have here (from 2008-07-16).

No. I see that both on Windows (Cygwin build) and on GNU/Linux Kubuntu 8.04.

I think it is a typo: instead of typing 'c', Dann has typed 'q' and C-x 
C-q does not exit but add %% to the current buffer, i.e. it cannot be 
modified and C-x C-q toogle the %%.

That's too old.  The typo is in this change (from the git mirror):

Author: Dan Nicolaescu <dann@ics.uci.edu>
Date:   Wed Jul 23 05:58:21 2008 +0000

    * dired.el (dired-mode-map): Show the key binding for wdired.
    
    * menu-bar.el (menu-bar-file-menu): Show the key binding for
    exiting emacs.
