At Kyle's request, I have tried this under 5.26 and, if anything, it is 
worse:

This still happens, unless:

This happened the first time I tried 5.26, but this time it was when I
first deleted the buffer.  This is actually the worst behavior I have
seen in this matter.  This happened only once in this way, even though
I tried to do the same procedure again.  I also got another error 6,
at some other (seemingly random) stage.

BTW, as far as I can tell, emacs is saying "Fatal error (6).",
where 6 refers to signal 6, which just means software generated abort.
(Is this correct?)

 amend this to:
  vm version 5.23 or 5.26  (NO problem under 4.42)

Any further thoughts appreciated.
