In that case, my guess is that this is the result of some memory
mess-up, perhaps a GC with un-GCPRO'ed variables. That could explain
the strange text we see in regex search initiated by
auto-coding-regexp-alist-lookup, since GC could relocate strings.
Unfortunately, I will be traveling for 3 weeks starting tomorrow, so I
probably won't have time to debug this. Maybe someone beats me to it;
if not, I hope to look into this in 3 weeks time.
