It's a regression in Emacs 29.

I spent about two hours hunting down this bug which misuses a feature I
introduced earlier in a very awkward way.  I'm still not sure how to fix
this completely.  That said, I think that it would be fair if, whenever
someone offers a patch for a reported serious bug (a bug that causes
Emacs to hang or crash), one of our maintainers explained within a week
or so how to proceed with the patch.

Thanks, martin
