Why do we have to fix this in Emacs 29?  The problem doesn't sound
very important to me: variables that are ignored should not be a
subject of scrutiny in Edebug too frequently, and I cannot even
imagine a use case where it would be important for debugging.

So I'd prefer to fix this on master instead.
