After a long debugging session I was able to produce a patch that fixes
this problem. It works now, but it is likely that the patch breaks
something else. Anyhow, it works for me but I'd be honored if Steven or
somebody else would comment the patch: what it breaks, how could it be
improved. Or if I just have missed something and this wasn't a bug in
Electric at all in the first place, I'd like to hear what did I wrong.

(by the way: that book Electric Internals Manual interests me, but 
it seems a bit pricey for a book. Anyone who has bought it and could
comment? How many pages it has?)
