 I have two shape files showing graticules, both projected in EPSG:4326 and
 both shapefiles provide a .prj file with the same content:

 cat graticule.prj:
 GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223
 563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]

 cat graticule_small.prj:
 GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223
 563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]

 when I load the two files in QGIS (svn trunk from today) only for the
 graticule.shp the projection is recognized and displayed in the "General"
 tab of the layer properties dialog. The projection of the other shape file
 graticule_small.shp is not recognized.

 AFAICS it seems, that the projection is not recognized when I change the
 symbology and save it as graticule_small.qml. When I delete the *.qml
 file, the projection is recognized again correctly. This happens in QGIS
 head and in the current stable release.

 This means every time I want to use "OTF projection" support for a shape
 with a saved style file (.qml) I have to define a CRS first before it
 works, although a correct .prj file exists.

 I put the two shapefiles here for testing:
