Hi,

   This comes up periodically, and I went through and fixed a bunch of 
save-excursion defeated by set-buffer warnings, so the fix might be in 
bzr/trunk.  If that is what you are already using, I know David fixed 
all the warnings in 'newtrunk', so you could try that version, and see 
if that fixes it.  Newtrunk is a bit different to install, so be sure to 
ignore INSTALL (which we need to fix), and use cedet-devel-load.el instead.

Good Luck
Eric
