bug#49648: 28.0.50; Installing a package: Garbage in the popup

[Harald Jörg]

Severity: minor

>From emacs -Q:

1) M-x list-packages
2) select any package (in my case: eglot)
3) click "install"

The popup "Install package eglot-1.7" has garbage characters before
"eglot" and after "1.7".  Screenshot attached.

Package installation works, so this is just a minor optical flaw.

Emacs didn't crash.

Emacs has been built from the repository with "make bootstrap" on Debian
buster.
