Ah, yeah, that bug has not been fixed before 11.87.  It never showed up
because only at that time the byte-compiler issued an error for
complining nil.  Before it was just silently ignored.

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2012-07/msg00093.html

However, that shouldn't cause any severe problems.  It just meant that
some generated functions are not byte-compiled but get interpreted.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function nil)
  nil()
  run-hooks(change-major-mode-after-body-hook text-mode-hook TeX-mode-hook 
LaTeX-mode-hook)

Seems one of those 4 hooks contains a nil entry.

Bye,
