Interesting!

I get (in the *scratch* buffer):

    (facep nil) → [face unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified unspecified ...]

M-x emacs-version returns

    GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2018-12-26, modified by Debian

So this is more likely an issue of Emacs itself?  Maybe it has been
fixed in a later version?

Thanks!
