Semantic not parsing Elisp files

Question

Here's my Semantic config:

(semantic-mode 1)

So my config probably isn't the issue.

Whenever I try to use Semantic commands in an elisp file, I get the message Buffer was not parsed by Semantic.. So I tried doing semantic-force-refresh and it says, Buffer reparsed. (no errors). But it still throws the "not parsed" error when I try to use a semantic command.

$ emacs -Q --eval "(semantic-mode 1)" has the same issue.

Everything works as intended in c-mode and c++-mode. What gives?

I usually use Emacs in Cygwin:

GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) of 2014-10-21 on desktop-new

But I have the same problem on my Arch VPS:

GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.3) of 2014-10-21 on bitzer.hoetzel.info

EDIT: I discovered that (semantic-active-p) returns nil in elisp buffers. I'm not sure why.

I solved this problem by downloading and installing a recent snapshot of CEDET from here: http://www.randomsample.de/cedet-snapshots/

I used this snapshot: cedet_snapshot-rev_8698.tar.gz 29-Dec-2014 21:00 1.5M

I guess the version shipped with this version of Emacs is broken.
