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. > I apologise if this is too noobish for emacs-devel. I appreciate a > pointer if I should've asked elsewhere. In general, such issues should be submitted to our issue tracker by invoking "M-x report-emacs-bug RET". Thanks.
