I added that sexp to .emacs and I eveluated it. Then, on failing, I removed
the 4th argument to force the value globally. Nothing changed. The function
is not being called.

I checked the documentation of c-special-indent-hook:
----------------------------------------
c-special-indent-hook is a variable defined in `cc-vars.el'.
Its value is 
(ms-space-for-alignment)
[...] It is only called if `c-syntactic-indentation' is non-nil.
----------------------------------------

So let's see that variable:
----------------------------------------
c-syntactic-indentation is a variable defined in `cc-vars.el'.
Its value is t
----------------------------------------

I instrumented ms-space-for-alignment for Edebug, but it's not being called
at all, either when I press TAB or when I type C-j, or during region
reformatting, or anything. Can anyone figure why?
