I have now committed a patch for this to the savannah master branch,
which I am confident has sorted the problem out.

Could I ask you please to update your Emacs-29 to this branch, and test
it out on your real C++ code, and confirm that the bug is indeed fixed
(or that it's not fixed).  Then we can close the bug.  Thanks!
