This problem exists even when the :extend attribute is not used as
Kévin demonstrated in https://debbugs.gnu.org/52587#13

So I see the only solution to modify the display engine
somewhere in `setup_for_ellipsis', so that after displaying
`default_invis_vector' or `DISP_INVIS_VECTOR', it could
remove all face text attributes from the next newline
that follows the ellipsis.
