Thanks, I can reproduce it. I'll debug next days (I'm not so fluent with
orderless, so I need some initia first).

Perhaps it is a good idea to write it also as Emacs bug report. This
would make it easier to add a possible solution to Emacs 29.2, which is
in its pretest already.

Best regards, Michael.
