Now that I think of it...  yes.

Yes and no.  I can see now that this is not necessarily a bug.  OTOH, if
you now press M-h instead of e.g. C-M-a, you will see why I considered
this a problem.  (And this is in stock mark-defun; my version has the
same problem, I'll have to think how to deal with it.)

I'm thus closing this, and sorry for the noise.
