Yep, they do. This was a bug report from our end and they fixed it
some time ago, IIRC.

I agree that it is poor design.  But if it works and isn't particularly
slow, then I don't think it's a priority to change things in Eglot,
mostly because that adds complexity for relatively little value.
That it isn't "priority" doesn't mean I would oppose it if you work
things out with an encoding expert like Eli and give it suitable
testing.
