It doesn't seem right to remove the restore of the state.  If you
consider the effect of an #if/#else/#endif combination the state of the
statement parser should be reset to the state at #if at the #else as the
code there is an alternative for the code in the other branch(s) of the
preprocessor, either is a continuation of the statement in progress when
reached.  This contrived example should make it clear we need to
restore:

	c = (d +
#if A
	a)
#else
	b)
#endif


That said it appears to be doing something wrong in your example.

/me will have a poke and get back to you.
