Because evidently people don't start seriously using and testing the
pretest until it's a few days from being released.

Don't worry, the fix for this will not go into Emacs 29.1, unless you
_really_ surprise me by its simplicity and safety.  After all, this
issue is merely a minor annoyance, not a big problem, especially if
one uses Emacs As God Intended and starts it only once in a blue moon.
Jim actually said he usually doesn't use GUI Emacs...

So feel free to design and implement a sound solution; no rush.

TIA
