Ok, so we know for sure now that it's a flex compatibility issue.

The necessary change apparently is to move all the routines which use 
unput to the first %{ %} code section of the Lex source. Unfortunately, 
that doesn't work with older Flex versions. Stupid. :(

I've attached a patch which I *think* should make qmlex.l compile, 
according to the little documentation that I have about this "feature" 
of the new flex version. Could you please try whether that works for you?
