I don't think people use `this' notation so often so "false
buttons" I don't think will be be a concern, but if it is,
cannot one simply look for a symbol, if it exists or not?
As there isn't a `this' symbol here, it doesn't have to
be buttonized, can't one do it like that, simply/better?

Let's confirm with (symbolp 'this) ; t

Hm ... maybe one can just use `when'?

Well, good that "they" fixed it but please tell me what
version number Emacs 28 will start on since mine

  GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, cairo
  version 1.16.0) of 2021-08-27

is somewhere in (27, 28) limbo.
