It's unfortunately been over eight years since you sent this bug report,
but you didn't get a response at the time.
I've tried reproducing this in Emacs 27, but I'm unable to. Looking at
the code, it does look like it's been changed quite a bit in the
intervening years -- do you still see this bug?
