It's a bug, and yes, next time you should redirect this to the bug
report mailing list.  Just make sure you CC me in some reply to the
message that debbugs replies with (the one that includes the bug number
that it assigns automatically).  Don't CC: me in the original mail to
bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.

fixed it in Emacs 27 (which should eventually appear in master).  Have a
try, please.

That's good to hear.  I also like that feeling (but not all do, I
suspect).
