Thanks for your report.  This has been reported first in
https://public-inbox.org/git/349f9369-b799-4f7b-bda1-33bcbd7ea067@xxxxxxxxxxx/,
and fixed there.  The fix wasn't merged to 'master' yet, but it is in
the 'next' branch.

Now that 2.17 was released, I'd expect this to be merged to 'master'
at some point.  If you'd like to help the fix along, it would be
awesome if you could test the current 'next' branch, and report back
whether or not the fix works for you.
