I've looked at this problem and now understand its cause.  It's too
involved to fix for Emacs 24.5, so we've decided to revert that commit,
as you've suggested.  A proper fix will surely be included in Emacs 25.1
(or 24.6, whichever comes first).

Thanks for taking the trouble to report this bug.  I'm closing it now.
