I won't go any further, because this is starting to seem Sisyphean.
But I will point out that this bug report has extremely limited reach.
Steven Allen very clearly noticed the change of behaviour, spent a
great deal of time explaining it, and wrote a set of patches to try to
correct it. Andy Moreton and Kristoffer Balintona also thought this
was a regression. It could simply be that they're busy right now,
especially after their earlier efforts didn't get much response (and
the latter two are not specifically CC'd) . Except for Michael
Shields, the patch author, everyone else who has an opinion preferred
the status quo of previous Emacs versions. You yourself just said you
wanted more clarification, which I attempted (and unfortunately,
failed) to provide. I suspect, but of course can't know, that more
people will report this as a bug when Emacs 31 is released.
