Well, it would have been an achievement if you had got the HTML
versions to byte-compile!

That may be an Emacs/XEmacs difference.  I certainly have that
variable on Emacs 20.7.1:

------------------------------------------------------------
font-lock-mark-block-function's value is 
nil

Documentation:
*Non-nil means use this function to mark a block of text.
When called with no args it should leave point at the beginning of any
enclosing textual block and mark at the end.
This is normally set via `font-lock-defaults'.

You can customize this variable.

It's in sendmail.el (on Emacs).

On Emacs 20.7.1, there's a "(require 'sendmail)" in the code for
`reporter-submit-bug-report', so there's no reason (on Emacs 20.7.1)
for `mail-position-on-field' to be not known to be defined (unless
it's an eval vs. compile thing).

Have you tried submitting a bug report using `xsl-submit-bug-report'
with those lines commented out?
