Firstly, Mattias and Eli, thank you both for investigating and 
dealing with this bug so quickly and thoroughly.

I just noticed that the patch and commit 
7e8c1a671872ef8e45057f25912594cf548639ab to master both reference 
the bug incorrectly in test/src/xfaces-tests.el. The comment under 
the new test is "Check symmetry (bug#51455)" however the bug ID is 
41544.
