(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Skimming this bug report, it seems like the reported bug was fixed (and
indeed I can't reproduce it in the current Emacs), and then the
discussion went on to other things, but the bug report was left open, so
I'm closing it now.  If there's anything more to be done here, please
respond to the debbugs address, and we'll reopen.
