Right....  At first I was going to add it happens just on Windows, but
then I tested it on my Ubuntu virtual server and I get the same result.
But after you reported Debian being fine I tested again at home and
indeed I can't reproduce too.

So, reproducible on Windows (Emacs master) + Ubuntu (Emacs 25).  No
problem on Debian (Emacs master).  Going to try a few more combinations,
but, in the meantime, what can be happening here and how can I debug it?

Thanks,
