Uh, it's not even released yet. Are the stabilization rules so strict that even a *fix* cannot go in? Unless it is going to be a rewrite of half the file...

You are not alone! However, it's been there for quite a long time so you cannot count on an eventual fix to be back-ported to Emacs 28, much less older releases. If you value compatibility with old versions, be prepared for work-arounds.

For that matter I know exactly what's wrong and am currently weighing various solutions.
