While all you write above is correct and I agree with the fix you
propose, I tend to restore the old behavior as with the attached
patch.  The reason is that I have no idea in how many more yet
unrevealed occasions my commit had adverse effects so I'd rather be on
the safe side for Emacs 26.2.  Please try the patch and tell me
whether it indeed restores the old behavior.

Thanks, martin
