FYI I have patched the visual-basic-mode.el that is on EmacsWiki to hide the problem (well I did not know whether it was a problem), to reproduce it you have to use this function:

(defun visual-basic-newline-and-indent (&optional count)
  "Insert a newline, updating indentation."
  (interactive)
    (expand-abbrev)
  (save-excursion
    (visual-basic-indent-line))
  (call-interactively 'newline-and-indent))

I tried with GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2009-07-25
and it is still there.

PS: thanks again to Eli for assistance in building.
