Problems with verify-visited-file-modtime in Lemacs 19.10

We've had a couple of reports that with both dired and efs loaded,
Lucid Emacs 19.10 issues repeated warnings that the disk copies of
files have changed, when in fact they haven't. It seems to be some
problem with the handler for verify-visited-file-modtime not running
when it should. I suspect that this is a Lemacs bug, as this problem
is not occuring with FSF Emacs 19, and the file-name-handler interface
is supposed to identical between the two.
Another possibility is that it might be related to the file-truename
business. That's done differently in FSF and Lucid.
Has anybody figured out what is causing this? Or at least, can people
send me some more clues so that we can track this down? It would be
good to get a patch together to send to Jamie asap.
Thanks, Sandy
