I should have tested this example with v2.24.1, which gives this output
in this section:

| | | | | | *-.   6_M4
| | | | | | |\ \  
| |_|_|_|_|/ / /  
|/| | | | | / /   
| | |_|_|_|/ /    
| |/| | | | /     
| | | |_|_|/      
| | |/| | |       
| | * | | | 6_G

So, this is likely the behavior we would prefer.

For the release, it is likely best to keep the change that does not
collapse properly and fix this collapse bug later. (It is likely an
invasive change.)
