This feature was broken on February 23, 2017 with:

dee8674414fae2323fd9cbf05aa762e72fa575e5

I manually reversed the optimization that was applied with the above-mentioned patch, and built a new Emacs 26 downloaded today and am able to verify that this corrects the problem.  I.e., manually reversing *a575e5 as applied to xdisp.c makes everything work properly.

I used the lo-tech approach of trying out various builds until I found the date where the feature stopped working properly.
