Indeed, this is rather counter-intuitive.
So a bug report would be welcome :-)

Note however that there is no unsoundness here: the definition of
"with" happens to be "create a record with the provided fields,
extracting omitted ones from p1". If none are omitted, which is the
case here as t2 has only one field, then p1 is currently ignored.
