I tried the various test cases, and the behaviour with your patch
clearly seems better to me, so I've applied it to Emacs 28.

But as Eli says, this is a ticklish area, so if this (re-)introduces
other bugs, we'll have to revert.

This change was small enough to apply without assigning copyright to the
FSF, but for future patches you want to submit, it might make sense to
get the paperwork started now, so that subsequent patches can be applied
speedily. Would you be willing to sign such paperwork?
