We don't want to release Emacs 25.1 with a buggy todo-mode, so the
fact the change is local helps, but not enough.  Please try to
convince us that the change itself is safe.  For example, is the
affected code called in different use cases than the one you anted to
fix, and if so, did you make sure those other use cases still work OK?

Thanks.
