According to ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ your emacs
version has been made available in April 2015 and so predates
the fix from December 2015 above.  Also, your version belongs to
an older (and effectively unmaintained) release series.

tl; dr: Please update to a current release candidate.
