I'm writing regarding the above 7 year old bug report, that
unfortunately never got a reply at the time.

I can't reproduce this on current master.  Are you still seeing this on
a recent version of Emacs?

If I don't hear back from you within a couple of weeks, I'll just assume
that this has been fixed and close this as unreproducible.
