Thanks, Noam, that worked.  I can now confirm that the problem 
does not show up with bleeding-edge Emacs.  I double-checked that 
I continue to see it with the other builds.

So it seems that either the problem got fixed, or it is a problem 
that is introduced through Debian packaging.  In order to find out 
who is the culprit I checked out the tag emacs-24.5 from git and 
tried to compile, but there's a problem.  Running "./autoconf.sh" 
gives:

./autogen.sh           
Checking whether you have the necessary tools...
(Read INSTALL.REPO for more details on building Emacs)

Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65)...
ok
Checking for automake (need at least version 1.11)...
ok
Your system has the required tools.
