Overlay keymaps ignored until point is moved when overlay is created from timer |

Emacs versions known to be affected:
------------------------------------
23.2.1, 24 (recent bzr checkout).
Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
1. Define the following function:
(defun test ()
(interactive)
(run-with-timer
2 nil
(lambda ()
(setq overlay (make-overlay 4 8))
(overlay-put overlay 'face '(background-color . "black"))
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
(overlay-put overlay 'keymap map)
(define-key map "t" (lambda () (interactive)
(message "overlay keymap binding")))))))
2. Position point somewhere between 4 and 8.
3. M-x test
4. type "t" (*without* moving point first)
Expected output:
----------------
Overlay keymap binding should display the message "overlay keymap binding".
Actual output:
--------------
Default `self-insert-command' binding inserts character "t" into the buffer.
Additional information:
-----------------------
Note that moving the point, e.g. one character to the right and then back,
in between septs 3. and 4. seems to activate the overlay keymap binding,
so that typing "t" in step 4. displays the correct message.

This has been fixed around the start of 24.4 development: the set of
keymaps is recomputed at the start of a key sequence.
The examples in this and merged bugs work for me now. Please feel free
to reopen if you see a case where the problem's not fixed.
