Since this is broken in the current (unpatched) CVS head, I would think 
the way to proceed would be to do a bisection between 11.86 and CVS head 
to see which commit broke it.  (I'm assuming that it works in 11.86.)  I 
tried to do this myself, but I ran into two problems.  First, I'm not 
proficient in using cvs, and I didn't know how to do the bisection. 
Everything I tried messed up my auctex checkout, and I had to keep 
restarting.  Second, I found that the problem occurred in some of my tex 
files but not all.

It would probably be good to have a minimal example in which it fails. 
And can you give me a recipe for doing the bisection so that I don't 
have to study the cvs manual?
