I'm unable to reproduce this on the current trunk.

I tried:

C-x C-f /ssh:stories:/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/etc/NEWS RET
C-x v l

and I got the vc-change-log buffer.

I did see something similar a few weeks ago, but it went away after I
said "make bootstrap" (so it's either a problem that shows up only
sometimes or it's a genuine build thing).  Can you try "make bootstrap"
to see whether that has any effect?
