I'm unable to reproduce this, and it doesn't fail to start blinking,
either.

This doesn't really say which Emacs repo version you're using --
7e9d744033f07286c21f092f8ea3646a51e37a19 isn't an Emacs git hash.

Could you try using the current version from the Emacs repo to see if
you see the problem there?

For reference, here's my build data:

In GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 4, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2022-08-29 built on joga
