I have been struggling with this bug for a few days, using 21.5b28. Being a
somewhat reluctant Windows user, I'd prefer to not have to build XEmacs myself,
but I have found a small workaround:

In insert-file-contents in code-files.el, replace

(substitute-in-file-name filename)

with

(or (ignore-errors (substitute-in-file-name filename))
    filename)

Not really a fix, ofc, but it seems to work.
