I'm pretty sure this is a redisplay problem.  Before the buffer is redrawn,
not only is the Need-Update still displayed, but the mouse-face highlight
is all screwed up.

I'm happy to hear you see it, since I thought it was related to my
"synchrounous interrupts" change (it started around the same time,
i.e. around the time Richard installed the `volatile' keyword
on the `specpdl' variable.
