I can reproduce this in Emacs 28.1, but not in Emacs 29 now (but I could
a month ago), so it seems like this has been fixed recently, and I'm
therefore closing this bug report.  If this problem is still present (it
may be that my test cases doesn't cover all the possibilities), please
respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
