XEmacs 21.5  (beta29) "garbanzo" 5663ae9a8989+ [Lucid] (i686-pc-cygwin,
Mule) of Tue Oct 12 2010 on RPluim

The docstring for run-with-timer is:

  `run-with-timer' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
    -- loaded from "timer-funcs"
  (run-with-timer SECS REPEAT FUNCTION &rest ARGS)
  
  Documentation:
  Perform an action after a delay of SECS seconds.
  Repeat the action every REPEAT seconds, if REPEAT is non-nil.
  SECS and REPEAT may be integers or floating point numbers.
  The action is to call FUNCTION with arguments ARGS.

which appears to be the same as in emacs trunk

I think we can argue about whether that docstring allows 't or not, it
certainly doesn't specify the semantics very well.
