I think we are looking at different versions of the spec.  I don't see
either wording here:

<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/jep359/jep359-20191031/specs/records-jls.html#jls-8.10.4>

But the updated wording works for me.

Also thanks to Brian for explaining the rationale to me.  I agree that
the current behavior is consistent with the kind of restrictions
imposed (or not) by the rest of the language.  The need for defensive
copies is particularly persuasive.
