Done.  See <https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/4830>.

My last bug report to the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 developers got addressed
late last year with a fix that was rolled out in a timely way.  So
this project appears to be responsive to bug reports (as opposed to
ignoring them like some projects do) so I hope to hear soon from them
whether they decide to go along with this suggestion or not.
