I think we should be more conservative and stick to the behavior that is 
in the latest stable Emacs release. Stefan wrote in May 2015 that the 
plan was to take this more-conservative approach; see 
<http://bugs.gnu.org/20484#40>. I'm sorry that you didn't know this and 
that it messed you up, but that's part of life when lived on the 
bleeding edge.
