I don't think this is about the differences in our views: I didn't say
I considered the behavior you described correct (it isn't).

My point was that your original report lacked some details, which
caused me to think the problem was not reproducible, because my naïve
attempt to reproduce it didn't use M-:.  It is important to describe
the recipe in enough detail to avoid that; please do that in the
future.
