> Is this a real buffer corruption, or just the display corruption?

It is a real buffer corruption. I made the second gist by C-x h, M-w and pasting it to the browser.

If I change the size of the frame or the window configuration, I still have a corrupted buffer.

> Also, how do you invoke Emacs to reproduce the problem?

By evaluating the code in the first gist.

I use emacs-jedi (https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi). So does the original reporter.

Since the problem occurs frequently, I can find strings file-content1 and file-content2 in the first gist.

As for the function my/add-to-after-change-functions, I looked into the source of emacs-jedi and wrote a similar code.

No. I can also reproduce it in the live session of Xubuntu 14.04, where LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

Here is the output of M-x report-emacs-bug in Emacs 24.3 in the live session.

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

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':

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'.
