I heard back from upstream, and the fix will be included from version
3.33.5.  In the meantime, I spruced up the comment and pushed this as
d619686250d8bb15bf67031f8ac80f9cfb400a26.  When we update to GNOME 3.34,
we can remove it again (I’m hoping the comment will be a sufficient
reminder).

Thanks for looking it over!
