Oh-no, this means something local here breaks it.

Actually I thought it was quite simple, load up, get the "autosaved file
is newer than ..." prompt, "M-x recover file", "yes", hey, no mod flag.

however it's a little more complicated than that., I tried again, after
mashing my .emacs and .emacs.el, and it *does* set the mod flag, so
something else is interfering with it.  I'll do some serious research
here and if it's a bundled elisp then I'll let you know, until then,
I'll crawl back under my rock.

all the best,
Nick Gridley
