No real progress, unfortunately. The bug is very elusive, almost a
Heisenbug, so I cannot reliably reproduce it, and thus still don't
have a simple recipe starting from "emacs -Q" that I could use to
investigate it and verify that it's fixed.
Without a simple reliable recipe, it is extremely hard to find the
root cause, because the newline cache is consulted _a_lot_, and on top
of that Rmail swaps buffer text, which makes traces even harder to
understand and interpret.
I'm beginning to think that maybe the only practical solution, at
least for 24.4, is to disable caching in Rmail buffers (since I saw no
reports of similar problems in any other modes).
