elie,
i am don knuth's bug collector.
i have retrieved the files, and will send
them through the required vetting procedure.

    It looks like I have found a bug in TeX : here are the files :
    http://norgz.info/bug.zip

    The two files gregorio-good.tex and gregorio-bad.tex differ only in one
    \showthe, and yet the result is different...

    If it is not a bug can you explain my mistake, and if it is a bug where can
    I report it ?

    At the beginning I thought it was only a bug in omega, aleph and luaTeX, so
    I reported it on luatex (http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=26) with the
    help of Arthur Reutenauer, but after removing all luaTeX and omega specific
    parts, it looks like the bug is also in TeX...

    Thank you in advance,
    --
