It appears to be too minor a problem to add to the etc/PROBLEMS file
(C-h C-p).

If the maintainers agree that this is going to be a persistent problem,
then it might be worth adding a "Bugs" or "Known Bugs" section to the
Customization chapter of the Emacs user manual so that Emacs users can
read that this problem/behavior is known and not need to report it.
Maintainers would then be able to point users to this section, which
could include description of scenarios in which the problem appears.
