Skimming this thread, it seemed people agreed that this was the right
solution, so I've now installed the patch in Emacs 28.

This change was just small enough to apply without assigning copyright
to the FSF, but for future patches you want to submit, it might make
sense to get the paperwork started now, so that subsequent patches can
be applied speedily. Would you be willing to sign such paperwork?
