Thanks for bisecting this -- we've had similar reports about ANSI
colouring randomly not working, but I've been unable to reproduce the
problem here.

And I'm still not able to, and it would be nice to be able to reproduce
it before starting to poke at it.

Do you have a recipe, starting from "emacs -Q", for how to reproduce
this bug?
