We've had three independent reports of the bug (Bug#28806, Bug#31718, 
Bug#31734), I expect because org-mode triggers the Emacs bug. Bug#28806#5 says 
it occurs with Emacs 26 but not Emacs 25. Bug#31718#5 says it occurs with Emacs 
26 but not Emacs 25.3. So the bug is a regression, and it's biting real users.
