I have really built the emacs-26 branch [1] this time!

As promised, I will use it from now on as my every-day Emacs and
report back here if I see the bug again.

OT: Compared to the five "potential null pointer derefernce"
warnings on master there is only one on emacs-26. Is this
normal? (It feels to me as if one is one too many.)

  indent.c: In function ‘scan_for_column’:
  indent.c:69:10: warning: potential null pointer dereference [-Wnull-dereference]
     return 0;
            ^
  indent.c:69:10: warning: potential null pointer dereference [-Wnull-dereference]
  indent.c:69:10: warning: potential null pointer dereference [-Wnull-dereference]
