bug#8237: keyboard translate occasionally fails

I have the following lines in my .emacs.el to swap C-j and C-x:

(keyboard-translate ?\C-x ?\C-j)
(keyboard-translate ?\C-j ?\C-x)

This works fine a vast majority of the time.  However, occasionally when I
swap back to Emacs from another program, if my first input to Emacs is C-j,
it still registers as C-j, instead C-x.

I can do a C-_ to undo, and C-j again, and it's back to C-x.  I've only
noticed this occasionally with Emacs 23.2.1 and Jan 2011 build of CVS Emacs
on Windows Vista.  It does repro even with emacs -Q, although usually I have
my .emacs.el loaded.  I'll update this bug as I get more consistent repro.

Is this problem still present in Emacs 24?

I have not tried in 24.  I've had to avoid using keyboard-translate in
this way due to the inconsistency.

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.

FWIW, I use key translations regularly (in the way described at
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil ) and haven't seen such an
issue. I use Linux mostly, but I just tried it on Windows 7 and didn't
reproduce it using Emacs 24.3. I have never used Emacs 23.
