Well, this one took me a while to uncover (btw, one can trace these things 
by setting \protectionthreshold to zero)

The problem was introduced when adding support for french active : ; etc. 
The reset code was generated under an unprotected regime, so the patch goes 
into lang-spe.tex;

\protect % added

\deactivatelanguagespecific "
\deactivatelanguagespecific /
\deactivatelanguagespecific :
\deactivatelanguagespecific ;
\deactivatelanguagespecific ?
\deactivatelanguagespecific !

\unprotect % added

For Oblomov's eyes only:

I also took the opportunity to extend the protection report code a bit

\def\reportunprotection   {\message{<unprotect \protectionstate>}}
\def\reportprotection     {\message{<protect   \protectionstate>}}

\def\protectionstate
   {\the\protectionlevel
    \ifcase\protectionthreshold=0\else
      :\space
      @=\the\catcode`@\space\space
      !=\the\catcode`!\space\space
      ?=\the\catcode`?%
    \fi}
