Thanks for the report!  Trying this locally, it seems to work in
either HEAD or v12 branch tip, so I think we fixed the bug already.
I recall some recent work around this area, so that conclusion
is not surprising.  What I don't recall is whether those fixes
were before or after 12.3.  You might find that updating to 12.3
fixes it; if not, it should be fixed in next month's 12.4 release.
