I intuitively expected such behavior because I had read nodes [1] and
[2], but not [3].
Maybe the explanation of "ignored chunks in find-file input" in node
[1] should be generalized to take remote files into account, or at
least add some link to node [3].
Anyway, I now understand the current behavior, and you can close this
bug report.
Thanks.
