I'm not surprised: a lot has changed in the display engine since
2005.  The original issue was just the tip of an iceberg: the general
problem was that the ellipsis would have an unpredictable face which
depended on the face of the first invisible character.  I think this
is more confusing than what we have now, because that situation is by
far much more common.
