Thanks for the report. I believe this is the same as bug#65356, though 
that bug suggests it was a new feature, rather than a fix for something 
that broke. In any case, I tested it in Emacs 30 and all seems well there.

It would be interesting to see what commit regressed this between 29.1 
and 29.2 though...
