Ah, yes, that should be fixed...

Yup.  Well, `lisp-interaction-mode' hasn't been tagged up, so you're
basically getting `C-h m' in `M-x'-like form.  I'm not sure `M-S-x' in
the *scratch* buffer will ever include more than that, but this command
is (well, will be) more useful for command discovery in more specialised
modes.
