What does "recently" mean in this case? What was the previous version
of Emacs you were using, when these errors didn't happen? Emacs
27.1.91 is a pretest of Emacs 27.2, and we generally don't make
behavior changes in pretest versions. So "recently" is surprising,
unless you previously used Emacs 26 or older.

In general, such issues should be submitted to our issue tracker by
invoking "M-x report-emacs-bug RET".
Thanks.
