There's a customisable variable c-electric-pound-behavior which can be
given the value '(alignleft) to reindent the # to column zero.  This has
had the value nil since, at the latest, 1997-07-10 (using git blame on
cc-vars.el).  That hardly counts as recent.  ;-)

Do you have a setting for c-electric-pound-behavior in your .emacs?  If
so, then it's possible something has gone wrong with the function
c-electric-pound.  If you haven't then please try such a setting.

Or perhaps I'm missing something, too.
