Hi Stefan: This bug #14120 in subr.el is still occurring in Emacs 27.0.50 because leading entries like (require . info) rather than strings are being injected into the history. Since this has affected people for quite a while, I hope you or someone else can add this one line change to the Emacs 27 branch and resolve it.
