This ended up being easier than I thought (a one-liner!). Fixed on the 
master branch in aff9261ab2a.

I think we should leave this as-is for the release branch though since 
I'm pretty sure it's been this way for ages, and I don't fully 
understand em-ls.el so there's a small risk I've made a mistake.
