Thank you for the analysis. However, I don't believe that your change is
correct. `buffer' is the working (output) buffer of
start-process-shell-command, so we shall call it here.

Instead, I've tried the appended patch. Could you, please, check? It
fixes the problem for me.

Best regards, Michael.
