First of all, thanks for the info.

That improvement was done over a year ago, and I hit this shortcoming the other day, after upgrading to the newest Emacs.

It is a trivial change. Therefore, I wouldn't wait until Emacs 31, and then let many users switching to Emacs 30.x (perhaps over a Linux distribution package) unnecessarily scratch their heads.
