Sorry, I should be extra clear that I mean has in the past and continues to 
work for Emacs. I've been using emacs-pgtk-native-comp through the flatwhatson 
channel from well before v28 was released. Currently I'm using 
emacs-pgtk-native-comp-28.1.50-223.3ddccb5. Everything has built, installed, 
and run fine for as long as I have been using it. Just in case that was in 
question, and as a point of reference.

Anyway, I'll try to reproduce when I can (tomorrow likely) what you reported in 
the first message using this setup, if that is of use.

Appreciate the efforts from everyone working on this!
