  If I open a file in emacs, enable both hexl-mode and
auto-revert-mode in its buffer and then modify the content of the file
externally, the buffer gets refreshed but its content seems... rather
littered. C-l doesn't fix it.

  I have similar problems with "auto-revert-tail-mode", but not when I
revert the buffer "manually" with M-x revert-buffer.

  It seems that when the buffer gets refreshed, it behaves as if
hexl-mode was not here (for instance with auto-revert-tail-mode, it
just appends the text, without printing the hex values) but I'm not
sure about what's going on here.

  To sum up, here's how to reproduce the bug:
    - open emacs
    - open a file
    - enable both hexl-mode and auto-revert-mode
    - modify the file externally (echo blah >> /the/file should suffice)
    - ????????
    - profit!!
