I'm not sure I quite understand Kaushal's proposed patch here, and how
it relates to the problem Drew describes, but Juri's patch here seems
like the right thing, at least?  As far as I can tell, it was never
applied.

So I've applied it to Emacs 28, and I'm closing this bug report.  If
there are other related things to be done in this area, it might be
better to open a separate bug report and restate what the requested
feature is.
