It's the commit https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/info/515bfbe816ef7b13 from
2023-01-19 which makes the difference here.

Prior to that the examples work (wrongly) as Ashok reported, since this
commit this is fixed as Jan showed.

Btw, @Francois, that code change which fixed the behaviour here had its
root in the ticket https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/tktview?name=370b1ff03e
- getting the things discussed here right is of course important also
for a working Tk.
