Yes, that is correct.

After discussing it with Juri, I've sent a few patches that fix some of
the affected tree-sitter modes.  You can read the conversation in the
issue:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=79363

However, I'm working on more patches, so you might want to check the
ones I've already sent.  Feedback is more than welcome.

Thanks!
