Thanks for testing, and for a clear test case.

You are free to use it in your Emacs 28, but I don't consider it safe
enough to have this change in Emacs 28.2 for the general consumption.
As simple and innocent as the change may look, it was done in a very
low-level subroutine, which is used all over the place in display
code.  I cannot predict what issues it could cause elsewhere, which
would require followup changes to unbreak.  OTOH, the problem you
described exists since Emacs 25.1, so it cannot be too annoying, or we
would have heard about it sooner; thus, fixing it is not an urgent
enough need, and doesn't outweigh the potential dangers of
destabilizing the release branch.  Sorry.
