Sorry, I made a mistake with my versions. I always witness it at:

  commit c03c195a274ab4092cc5f2a881a87cb2643d9b3b
  Date:   Tue May 12 19:35:54 2015 +0300

I do not witness it in Emacs 24.5 nor today's emacs-24 nor today's master.
So it must have been fixed in the past few weeks. Closing the bug.

Thanks for having taken a look and sending such a timely response.
