, sorry
Not related to the report, but for me with an up-to-date latexbug
there is no error with your demo.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity.
Just to make things linked, it's resolved by #914.
Brief outline of the bug
TeX the program has a rebox subroutine, which is used when constructing (1) fraction’s numerator or denominator, and (2) big operator’s limits (and the operator itself). This subroutine does not retain the height and depth of the content box, so after reboxing these data are lost and can lead to bad interactions with some plain TeX macros (e.g.,
\smash
,\phantom
, etc.). A minimal plain TeX example is:I reported this issue to Karl Berry and it was forwarded to Don Knuth for the 2021 tuneup. Unfortunately, according to Karl, Don Knuth declined to offer any fixes to either the program or the plain TeX format, with no explanations. Karl said that the same problems could “leak” into LaTeX and advised me to report them here.
