2.6 is a tad too old as a reference, as the "!reinclusion" has been
in flux in recent releases.  Can you test these?

 - 2.7.0
 - 2.7.1
 - e79112d

I suspect that v2.7.0 would be broken, v2.7.1 is OK and e79112d
would also be OK (I am guessing this from [1]).  e79112d is the last
version on the 'master' branch without the topic that contains the
commit you bisected down to, but between 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 there was a
reversion of a commit that introduced the original issue.

The commit you bisected down to that is on 'master', IIUC, was a
(faulty) attempt to fix the breakage in a different way.
