> AFAIR, Stefan thought that the current behavior is the correct one.

And indeed, looking at
https://github.com/kaushalmodi/.emacs.d/commit/912c4fc8bf4ed0c84e28dc837b0500b9a2e172ca,
it seems that it's the better behavior in that case as well.

PS: It's not just that "it's the correct behavior", but that the patch
introduced other problems.  I don't know how to fix those problems while
at the same time recovering the previous behavior of this-command-keys
(I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't understand the code well
enough to figure it out).  And since I find this previous behavior
undesirable in general, I'm not highly motivated to try and "fix" the
problem ;-)
