CC Mode 5.30.9 is a stable release version, but it's only just been
released in the last few days, so there might conceivably be a problem
with it. 

Could you possibly try the thing again with a stable Emacs (say, 21.3)?
That would at least narrow down where the problem is.

Bear in mind that the latest Emacs CVS is not intended to be a stable
production program.
