For the record, Jay replied off-list that "emacs -Q" has the same problem for him. > It appears to be inconsistent. Sometimes it will happen, sometimes it > will not.

Today, I tried again with emacs -Q built from bzr revno > 106562. I definitely see this behavior, without fail. > > emacs -Q > (In *scratch* buffer) > C-p C-p C-p C-SPC C-e M-w This is not the right recipe. The first M-w does NOT show the region by momentarily moving point to its other end, because the default is to have transient-mark-mode on, which already shows the region. You need to type M-w twice or more in a row to see point move. Anyway, I don't see it on any machine to which I have access, FWIW. I tried both unoptimized and optimized builds, on Windows and on GNU/Linux, and they all behave as expected.
