Subject: 24.2; File does not get saved when save-buffer called
--text follows this line--
This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

This behaviour started with Emacs 24.1 - it does not happen on earlier
versions.

In my .emacs I defadvice several major modes to include a call to
untabify in the local-write-file-hooks. With this version of Emacs, the
defadvice
seems to trigger a bug where the message line states the file has been
saved when it has not been saved - the status line indicates it is still
in a modified state as well.

Minimal/sample code that triggers/illustrates this bug is:

(defadvice python-mode (after minor-modes-for-python activate compile)
  (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks '(lambda () (untabify (point-min)
(point-max)))))


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
c:/emacs/etc/DEBUG.
