How did you manage to get this part under the --- -separator;
I think this part below will not go to the commit message.

Otherwise, NEWS entry looks good to me. The same thing happens
when one `copy-region-as-kill`s region -- when yanking the invisible
part appears. This is easily noticiable by user and therefore I suggest
no effort is taken to document it -- someone might even think it
lessens the S/N ratio (due to tl;dr effect).
