It's now fixed in git. Snapshots will follow before long. This was
subtle fallout from the internal redefinition of "NA" since 2018c.
I'm glad that a new version wasn't already released before this fix, but
the two recent bugs together are really problematic IMHO, because they
affect general usage and no special niche case. So I'm now quite firmly
in favor of a new release.
