I believe I know this bug. It's an emacs problem, and should be fixed in
emacs 23.4 once it becomes available. That said I don't know of any elisp
code other than ProofGeneral that tickles this bug. As far as Isabell/PG
are concerned, it's not a new problem -- it also affects Isabelle2011. See

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8703

(Note that I encountered this problem with Linux -- I hope that the MacOS
version uses the same code, but I have not tested this theory.)

Best regards,

Bertram
