Indeed I am.  ;-)  It was me.  Funny thing is, I had absolutely no
recollection of ever modifying js.el, that is until I checked over my
notes from last November.

So, yes, It was just a simple coding error.  Apologies to Daniel for the
nuisance.

I'll get a patch onto the list as soon as I've got the time and energy to
check it over carefully.
