Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the connection between
the description of the bug, the recipe, and the patch.

The description talks about calling forward-page, but the recipe
doesn't call it.  The patch compares page-delimiter with an empty
string, but the default value of page-delimiter is not empty.

So I'm mightily confused by this.  Hopefully, someone will show me
what I'm missing.
