It's not in CVS, and it's not your fault by any means.

Well, what happens to ordinary climacs code if the two update-syntax
methods don't delegate?  In theory, they should be using the buffer
protocol to interact with their buffer argument, so everything should
carry on working transparently... but if it doesn't, it might be worth
identifying what the problem is.  If nothing too much breaks, then
removing those trampolines would be ideal.
