To be able to debug this, we need a recipe to reproduce the problem.
Ideally, the recipe should start with "emacs -q --no-site-file", to
avoid complications with user and site-wide customizations.
Could you please try to find such a recipe? It would be a great help;
without such a recipe, the only person who could debug this problem is
you.
TIA
