I checked in a fix.
By the way, there are some pretty dubious features in the new
tutorial. I think we should revisit them before the release.
1. There's no call for a special tutorial--tab-map to tab between
warning messages. Why bother?
2. Displaying one line of warning message for each rebound key
sequence is really annoying. We should just highlight them in a
different face and display the message in a tooltip, and/or when
the text is clicked on. After all, there is already a big warning
message at the top of the tutorial page saying keys have been
rebound; no need to hammer it in.
3. The tutorial-position saving mechanism is very opaque. When the
buffer is killed, the current position in the tutorial, without
prompting the user (it used to save into a directory ~/.emacstut,
but I moved this into .emacs.d to avoid homedir pollution).
However, this saving does not occur if the user does C-x C-c or C-x
C-s. This feature is confusing enough that I'd propose removing it
entirely.
