I wasn't aware of it but I've never used viper-mode.  At first sight, I would
think it shouldn't interfere.  If you had used M-x report-emacs-bug it might
have shown that you had turned viper-mode on.  I suggest again that you send
your report to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org where someone might, possibly Michael
Kifer, author of Viper, might recognise the problem.
