So, it appears I (and perhaps edbug) was confused between the function
`auto-revert-mode' and the variable of the same name! I should know
better!
So the problem is more likely just that `auto-revert-handler' is not
behaving quite the same way in 24.5 as it did before, specifically with
respect to the value of the `auto-revert-mode' variable. Since it is
explicitly marked as an internal function I retract my suggestion that
the change is in any way a major bug in 24.5.
My proposed fix is no doubt wrong too as I think it will just force
auto-revert-mode on for each buffer it tries to revert.
I've reported the issue to the magit maintainers on github and hopefully
someone can find a suitable work-around, though perhaps the real fix will
involve enhancing autorevert to make it more amenable to non-interactive
interaction with other modules.
For my own use I think my hack works anyway because I think I do always
want auto-revert-mode for all buffers visiting files in any repository
I'm working in.
Sorry for any confusion w.r.t. `let'!
