I can reproduce this problem in Emacs 26.1, but it seems to be gone in
Emacs 27.1 (and 28), so I'm going to go ahead and guess that this has
been fixed in the years since this was reported, and I'm closing this
bug report.  If this is still a problem in recent Emacs versions, please
respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
