Of course you do. And I won't argue, I will just say that you don't
have enough gray hair in Emacs development. Time and again I see us
willing to fix some minuscule issue, and as result introduce subtle
problems and regressions which are frequently worse than the original
issue. I suspect this is one of those cases. But I'm willing to
consider the possibility that perhaps this time I will be wrong (yeah,
right).
