OK, thanks. Now everything is clear: at the time we discussed this,
almost 2 months ago, Pip Cet proposed a patch, which I asked him to
install. But it turns out it was never actually installed, and so
this particular situation was indeed not fixed.
I have now installed that patch on the emacs-27 branch, and the
problem is gone.
