Malcolm, start here...

And an earlier report by Wes Hardaker
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/56414 ]
Katsumi Yamaoka provided this test case:
$ cat _xemacs_syntax_table_.el
(message "`%s'"
(with-temp-buffer
(require 'mml)
(insert "disposition=attachment")
(goto-char (point-min))
(with-syntax-table mml-syntax-table
(forward-sexp 1)
(buffer-substring (point) (point-max)))))
XEmacs 21.4.15 "Security Through Obscurity"
$ xemacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l _xemacs_syntax_table_.el -kill
`'
With XEmacs 21.5-b18 "chestnut":
$ xemacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l _xemacs_syntax_table_.el -kill
`=attachment'
Bye, Reiner.
