Hi, Hans
The enableexperiments switches you pointed to solved the problem for the
mwe I sent, but I'll take a look at the texmfcnf.lua configuration file to
learn more.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Todas as coisas fatigam o corpo, salvo a música, que não fatiga nem o corpo
nem seus membros, por ser descanso da alma, primavera do coração, distração
do aflito, entretenimento do solitário, e viático do viajante.
