bug#7854: 24.0.50; Buffer *temp* modified; kill anyway?

[Reiner Steib]

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

(a) emacs -Q -eval \
    "(defalias 'tramp-completion-file-name-handler 'file-name-non-special)"

    I added this alias because I couldn't prevent tramp kicking in
    (which adds quite a long delay the first time tramp is loaded) by
    simply customizing `tramp-mode' to nil, as I expected to from the
    doc string. Then I found that `file-name-handler-alist' has entries
    for `tramp-completion-file-name-handler' and
    `tramp-file-name-handler', and concluded that aliasing these to the
    default `file-name-non-special' might do the trick.

(b) M-x cvs-update RET

(c) I get a prompt like this:

    "Buffer  *temp* modified; kill anyway? "

(d) With M-x toggle-debug-on-quit RET, I get the following:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
     yes-or-no-p("Buffer  *temp*<4> modified; kill anyway? ")
     kill-buffer(#<buffer  *temp*<4>>)
     byte-code("[...]" [temp-buffer buffer-name kill-buffer] 2)
     byte-code([...] [temp-buffer cvs-cvsrc-file cmd --cl-dolist-temp-- sym
