I traced the execution in gdb, the code removed in the following diff
seems to be the culprit:

--- i/src/keyboard.c
+++ w/src/keyboard.c
@@ -3029,14 +3029,6 @@ read_char (int commandflag, Lisp_Object map,
       Vunread_post_input_method_events
 	= nconc2 (XCDR (tem), Vunread_post_input_method_events);
     }
-  /* When we consume events from the various unread-*-events lists, we
-     bypass the code that records input, so record these events now if
-     they were not recorded already.  */
-  if (!recorded)
-    {
-      record_char (c);
-      recorded = true;
-    }
 
  reread_first:

This was added in [1: 30a6b1f814].  Obviously just removing it will
reintroduce the bug it fixed, I'm not sure what the proper fix should
be.

  Fix recording of events pushed onto unread-command-events



Slightly simpler reproduction: evaluate

    (defun insert-a ()
      (interactive)
      (execute-kbd-macro "a" 1))
    (define-key global-map [f12] 'insert-a)
