If you refer to the compatibility hack, it just defines
custom-autogenerated-user-settings as a alias for `progn', so it will
usually set the config vars just fine but will fail to mark them as set
by Custom. Occasionally it will also fail to set the vars properly, of
course (e.g. because they're not set in the right order), but it should
be a fairly rare occurrence.
