bug#14267: 24.3.50; Buffer menu sort order

[Brendan Halpin]

While M-x buffer-menu continues to work normally, assigning it to a key:

(global-set-key [f2] 'buffer-menu)

and invoking it by keystroke, no longer yields the buffer list in "most
recent first" order. However, when stepping through buffer-menu (using
debug-on-entry) it yields the most-recent-first order even when invoked
by keystroke.
