Could someone please look at this?
If he's right, it would seem that flymake mode should not work at all.
But people seem to be using it, and reporting smaller bugs.

Subject: M-x flymake-mode to toggle it on doesn't start checking.

Setting a buffer to flymake-mode or toggling flymake-mode off and on (with M-x
flymake-mode), I couldn't get it to check the buffer on a buffer change or
after some delay.
I made this change and it seemed to work better:
* flymake.el (flymake-mode-on): removed 'when (not
flymake-mode)' - otherwise never ran the set up stuff.
The way it reads seems right (turn it on when it's not on), but when I ran the
debugger and did M-x flymake-mode (with flymake mode off) it arrived at
function flymake-mode-on with the variable flymake-mode set 'on'. This
matches the define-minor-mode description in the Elisp manual.
- Macro: define-minor-mode mode doc [init-value [lighter [keymap]]]
... It also defines a variable named
MODE, which is set to `t' or `nil' by enabling or disabling the
mode. ...
