This is bug#73863.  I explained why this happens in that bug, see

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=73863#35

I proposed several potential solutions for that here:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=73863#62

(and a couple of other ideas elsewhere in that discussion).  But
AFAIU, none of the suggestions were acceptable, so here we are.
