OK, it's apparently not emacs (or emacs-gtk, emacs-x). I just copied over the older emacs-23 (which worked fine in the older BE) into my latest BE and it shows the same problems running in the newer BE.
Would it be practical to narrow down the cause of this by trying different install versions? I don't mind running some installs, but I'm not sure how to tell IPS what exactly to install (to get something other than the latest).
