There are 673 commits here.  Could you attempt a bisect, or manually
reduce the search space by trying out Emacs from earlier commits?

If you have a Guix checkout, just checkout a commit from, say,
Oct. 20th, run =E2=80=98make=E2=80=99, and check whether Emacs built from t=
hat commit
has the problem:

  guix environment --ad-hoc emacs -- emacs -Q

TIA!
