Yikes.  Thank you for catching that.  I'm trying and failing to fathom
how that could have happened.  I thought this webmail client must have
been at fault, but I've also found counter-examples to that, so I'm at
a loss.

Is that glyphless-char face background something you use as standard?
If it doesn't show itself in any normal circumstances, I'd be inclined
to start using it as a safety measure.
