You have redefined a subr.el function with cl-letf*, so how is what happens
as result a bug in Emacs?  Does the original subr.el function not do what
it's supposed to do, before you replace it?

I understand you didn't expect the result of cl-letf*, and were surprised by
what you saw, but I don't understand why you expect the Emacs development to
do something about your surprise.

See above: I understand what you are saying, but not why this is submitted
as a bug to the Emacs development team.
