You may wish to try updating emacs to a newer version.  We're running
18.55 and I haven't seen this problem in the last five minor versions.
I also often do a set host and run emacs.  I can't swear that it's due
to the version of emacs, but I do know there were some changes that
affected VMS due to at least one VAXC RTL bug.
