(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I can reproduce this in Emacs 26.1, but not in Emacs 28.1, so I guess
this has been fixed in the years since it was reported, and I'm closing
this bug report.  If you're still seeing the problem in recent Emacs
versions, please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
