Marking this as "wontfix" seems particularly inapplicable to me: This
shortcoming crashes Emacs and potentially causes data loss for users,
not only in such an artificial test case but in other situations too.
This shortcoming prevents my testing Emacs in many other ways that would
help me to find and correct more shortcomings and make Emacs more robust.

All the best,
Markus
