    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.

When sending a bug report, don't *look* for reasons not to send a
precise test case.  The most important principle of bug reporting is:

  Send a precise test case no matter HOW sure you are it is not needed!
