That's true, but I see the same behavior in Emacs 22.3, if I invoke it
with "emacs -q" (lowercase 'q', since 22.x didn't support -Q), so
there's no change in behavior here.

How exactly did you verify with v22.3? As I wrote above, I see the
same behavior in that version. Did you invoke it with -q? If not,
there are some customization of yours that modify the default
behavior, and the question becomes how to express the same
customizations in Emacs 24.
