Having reviewed the changes it seems that this can only be one of two
things:
(1) Stephen's changes have a bug
(2) The original syntax code has a bug when lookup-syntax-properties is
turned off.
To eliminate (2) can you try setting
(setq-default lookup-syntax-properties t)
in your init.el file, and see if that helps. I cannot reproduce your
problems as yet.
Thanks
