We've subsequently tracked this down to a bug in Emacs' process
handling code.
delete-process claims that it runs the process' sentinel, but
doesn't. A minimal example test case demonstrating the bug is

I believe Noah Friedman (iNoah) is looking at fixing this, or at
least reporting it. So we can hope that cvs emacs should have a
fix for this soon.
