Thanks for the pointer. To describe the current behavior as
"documented" is stretching things, though (at least, I had to trawl
through the code to get a handle on what was going on, and I can see
no documentation cited in the thread above or in the docstrings that
describes the current behavior).

In any case, documented or not, it's a bug, and it's a bug in the
stable version of Emacs, not just the development version.
