Two questions: 1) Do programmers have a name for this situation, where custom settings seemed to work perfectly for a long time but then failed noticeably with the introduction of new, correct code into the .emacs? 2) Is there a useful strategy for finding the minimal .emacs that illustrates the failure? I might have 100 customizations in the various starter kit configuration files. If combinations of customizations are a possibility, I'm looking at quite a bit of random experimentation without some kind of strategy.
